There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, features 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of comforts in addition to the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
