There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are situated in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling hall, contains 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that contains numerous amenities aside from the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 tables.
