There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are positioned in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia bettings houses is in the prime place, a three to four drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling establishments do a flourishing business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income obtained from the casinos ranges from seven dollars.five million to over twelve and a half million, and there are few limitations or registration requirements for betting house ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; even so, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from nine a.m. to five p.m., and even though visas are apparently needed to cross, you will discover methods around this, as is true of the majority of border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia bettings houses opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were pressured to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a fixed boat betting house, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open round the clock with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-gow poker and Tai-Sai.

The very first betting house in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. You will find one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and a hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Betting house and Resort functions 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most well-known game), Fan Tan, and Pai-gow. Also, there could be the Gambling establishment Tropicana, with a hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight bettings houses in Poipet, also in a hotel, may be the Princess Gambling establishment with 166 slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel complex that attributes numerous amenities in addition to the casino, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred thirty slots and 88 table games.

Across the Cambodian border at Asmech/Surin is one gambling establishment, the Gambling establishment O Samet, with a hundred slot machine games and 50 tables of baccarat. Also, the Koh Kong Casino, in the province of Trat, is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with 100 slot machine games and four table games. A smaller casino, Le Macau Betting house and Hotel, opened not too long ago at Bavet on the Vietnamese border.
