There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly required to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.

The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel building that highlights a number of amenities aside from the gambling den, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 table games.
