There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino gambling is against the law. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many borders.
The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel compound that features many conveniences on top of the casino, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
