There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is true of most borders.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored bateau casino, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling den never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and sixty six of the common table games, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machines and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a multinational vacation and hotel complex that contains many amenities aside from the casino, which contains 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
