There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau gambling hall, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table 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 before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international resort and hotel compound that highlights a number of conveniences accompanying the casino, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight tables.
