There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, an anchored boat casino, features 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machines and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 one armed bandits and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the 8 casinos in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive vacation and hotel complex that contains many amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
