There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games 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 machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel building that features many comforts accompanying the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
