There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, in which casino gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting locations 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 few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that contains numerous amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
