There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, where casino betting is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, contains 150 slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six 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 one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel complex that highlights a number of luxuries accompanying the casino, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 tables.
