There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den gambling is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel complex that features numerous comforts on top of the casino, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
