There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is prohibited. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.
The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial casino 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 newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains many amenities aside from the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
