There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is against the law. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship casino, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that highlights many conveniences on top of the gambling den, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 one armed bandits and 88 table games.
