There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are apparently needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, features 150 slots and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 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 the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel compound that contains many amenities aside from the gambling den, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight tables.
