There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of many borders.

The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge casino, highlights 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including eighty seven punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel compound that features many comforts in addition to the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight table games.
