There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gaming is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge 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 more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are apparently needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of 150 one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, 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. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel complex that contains numerous conveniences accompanying the gambling den, which offers ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight table games.
