There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gaming is against the law. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 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 soon opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that features many comforts in addition to the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and eighty eight tables.
