There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, features 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel building that highlights many amenities aside from the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 tables.
