There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is against the law. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that highlights numerous amenities accompanying the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
