There is an interesting history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is true of most border crossings.
The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities aside from the casino, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
