There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino betting is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are apparently needed to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of luxuries on top of the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 table games.
