There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most borders.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight table games.
