There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is illegal. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
