There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains a number of luxuries accompanying the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
