There is an interesting history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling hall betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests 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 dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are apparently needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines 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 one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features numerous luxuries on top of the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
