There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is prohibited. Eight casinos are situated in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau casino, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy 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 sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 tables.
