There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most borders.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that contains a number of amenities in addition to the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
