There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is illegal. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny area in the municipality 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 two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.

The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 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 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that highlights a number of conveniences on top of the casino, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
