There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall betting is against the law. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.

The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of amenities aside from the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
