There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, contains 150 slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one 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 before long followed. There are 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel building that highlights a number of conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
