There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den betting is against the law. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that contains numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
