There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not legal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are apparently required to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.
The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the normal table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel compound that features a number of luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
