There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight casinos are based in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of most borders.

The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 table games.
