There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that contains a number of conveniences on top of the casino, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
