There is a captivating history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many borders.

The first Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau casino, contains 150 one armed bandits and sixty tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the common tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel compound that features numerous conveniences on top of the casino, which has ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
