There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel complex that highlights numerous amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
