There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital 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 presumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are means around this, as is real of most borders.

The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel complex that highlights a number of conveniences accompanying the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 tables.
