There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to cross, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational vacation and hotel complex that highlights numerous amenities on top of the gambling hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of 130 slots and eighty eight gaming tables.
