There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is banned. Eight casinos are situated in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly required to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of many borders.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling den, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten 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 before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous amenities accompanying the casino, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
