There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel complex that features numerous comforts in addition to the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
