There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, 10 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 opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that highlights a number of amenities accompanying the casino, which has ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
