There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming 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 amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.

The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that features many conveniences aside from the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
