There is an appealing story to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; still, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge casino, features 150 one armed bandits and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown soon followed. A total of one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 one armed bandits and seventy tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and 96 table games, including eighty seven baccarat (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slot machines and 66 of the normal tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slots and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in a comprehensive resort and hotel building that contains a number of conveniences in addition to the casino, which contains ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and eighty eight tables.
