There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous conveniences accompanying the gambling hall, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
