There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is illegal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of many borders.

The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling den, features 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, ten 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, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that highlights numerous amenities on top of the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
