There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling den, contains 150 slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel compound that features numerous comforts on top of the gambling den, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 tables.
