There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is not legal. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, contains 150 one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four 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 gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 tables.
