There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall betting is against the law. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, highlights 150 slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that features a number of conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
