There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of most border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga river boat 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 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel building that features a number of amenities accompanying the gambling den, which contains 10,000 square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 tables.
