There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is illegal. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most borders.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundres and four one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, 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. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a inn, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that highlights many comforts on top of the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
