There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table 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 soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, 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 normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that features many conveniences aside from the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight table games.
