There is an interesting story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den betting is against the law. Eight casinos are based in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists 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 to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are means around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel building that highlights a number of amenities accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
