There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino gaming is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are supposedly required to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, contains one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and five table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a multinational resort and hotel complex that features numerous conveniences on top of the gambling den, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slots and eighty eight tables.
