There is a captivating history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which casino gambling is against the law. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of many borders.
The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six 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 one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous amenities on top of the casino, which provides ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
