There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which casino gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship casino, highlights 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that highlights many amenities accompanying the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
