There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is against the law. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 17:00, and though visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling hall, highlights 150 one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open 24 hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in 1999 and the Golden Crown before long opened. A total of 150 slot machine games and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort highlights 300 slot machines and seventy table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 one armed bandits and 66 of the normal tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the 8 casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel complex that contains numerous amenities on top of the gambling hall, which houses 10,000 square feet of one hundred and thirty slot machines and 88 table games.
