There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is true of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling hall, features 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved 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. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive vacation and hotel compound that highlights many conveniences aside from the casino, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 tables.
