There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is against the law. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of luxuries aside from the casino, which houses 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
