There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino wagering is not legal. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of 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 a multinational vacation and hotel building that contains numerous amenities aside from the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
