There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is banned. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are means around this, as is true of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow.
