There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is prohibited. Eight casinos are situated in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains a number of conveniences in addition to the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
