There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.

The 1st Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty gaming tables. The Naga casino never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and sixty six of the familiar gaming tables, as well as 1 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 one armed bandits and 97 casino games.
