There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is against the law. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, features 150 slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features many conveniences accompanying the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight table games.
