There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel building that highlights a number of luxuries on top of the gambling den, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
