There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most borders.

The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table 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 soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights numerous luxuries on top of the casino, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
