There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is illegal. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat casino, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are 150 slots and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred slots and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant 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 tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also in a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around vacation and hotel complex that features numerous conveniences on top of the casino, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
