There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many borders.

The original Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and 70 tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel compound that contains many conveniences on top of the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slots and 88 tables.
