There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga casino never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that contains a number of comforts in addition to the casino, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 gaming tables.
