There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling den gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored ship gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machine games and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around resort and hotel complex that features many amenities aside from the gambling den, which houses ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
