There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is not legal. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, highlights 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive vacation and hotel building that features many conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which has ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 table games.
