There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel compound that features a number of amenities on top of the gambling hall, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and eighty eight gaming tables.
