There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, where gambling den wagering is banned. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 1700, and though visas are apparently needed to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one 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. There are 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and sixty six of the common gaming tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that features numerous conveniences aside from the gambling den, which provides ten thousand sq.ft. of 130 slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
