There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which casino betting is not allowed. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are apparently required to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences accompanying the casino, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
