There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are established in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling hall 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 one hundred and four slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as one 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 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that contains numerous luxuries accompanying the gambling den, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
