There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens 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 a comprehensive resort and hotel building that highlights a number of conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
