There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge gambling hall, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel compound that contains numerous conveniences on top of the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and eighty eight table games.
