There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is against the law. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits 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 popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel building that contains a number of comforts aside from the gambling den, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 tables.
