There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are allegedly required to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 table games. The Naga casino is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The newer Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights three hundred one armed bandits and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five one armed bandits and 66 of the familiar tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker.
