There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations requirements 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 though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos 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 an international resort and hotel complex that highlights many comforts accompanying the casino, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
