There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not legal. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machines and 60 table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel complex that highlights a number of conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which has 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
