There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not permitted. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime area, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.

The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machines and 96 table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling halls in Poipet, also a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and ninety seven games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-around resort and hotel complex that contains many luxuries aside from the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and eighty eight gaming tables.
