There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that features a number of luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
