There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den wagering is prohibited. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that contains numerous amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 gaming tables.
