There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den betting is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of many border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains many conveniences aside from the gambling den, which has 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
