There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall betting is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are allegedly required to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat casino, features 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that contains many conveniences on top of the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
