There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of many borders.

The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that highlights a number of luxuries in addition to the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and 88 gaming tables.
