There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship casino, contains 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel building that contains many comforts aside from the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight tables.
