There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are based in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime area, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 17:00, and though visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of twenty-one, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The initial casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. There are 150 slots and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four one armed bandits and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains 300 slot machine games and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slot machines and ninety six table games, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the normal table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of a comprehensive resort and hotel compound that highlights numerous amenities aside from the gambling den, which contains 10,000 sq.ft. of 130 slot machines and 88 table games.
