There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 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 166 slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous comforts aside from the casino, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
