There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are established in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, contains 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one 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 soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights many luxuries accompanying the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
