Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.

A total of 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow.
