There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of 21, ten 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that features many amenities on top of the casino, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 gaming tables.
