There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of most borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored barge gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty table games. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, 4 tables of twenty-one, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and 66 of the normal tables, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker.
