Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.
The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker.
