There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; however, financing sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored barge casino, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty tables. The Naga river boat is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of vingt-et-un, 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, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. A total of one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slot machine games and seventy gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and sixty six of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel building that features numerous amenities in addition to the gambling den, which offers ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 table games.
