There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in 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 all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that features many luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
