There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight casinos are situated in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that features numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
