There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is against the law. Eight casinos are established in a relatively small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge casino, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that contains many comforts in addition to the gambling den, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
