There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are apparently 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 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling den, features 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel complex that features numerous conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 tables.
