There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau gambling hall, features 150 slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive vacation and hotel building that contains many comforts aside from the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight gaming tables.
