There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just across the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den wagering is not legal. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financing sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The first Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored ship gambling den, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-around vacation and hotel complex that features a number of comforts aside from the gambling den, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 one armed bandits and 88 gaming tables.
