There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.

The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel compound that features numerous conveniences on top of the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
