There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and even though visas are supposedly required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel complex that contains many luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
