There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is banned. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, funding 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 needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, 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 barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that contains a number of amenities aside from the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
