There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where casino gaming is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two 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 before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous conveniences accompanying the gambling hall, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
