There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino gambling is not permitted. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that contains a number of amenities in addition to the gambling hall, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 gaming tables.
