There is a captivating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is not legal. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular 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 few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slots and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational resort and hotel building that features numerous conveniences aside from the gambling hall, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
