There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino betting is against the law. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that features numerous amenities in addition to the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
