There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are anchored in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly required to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.

The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only one casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked bateau gambling hall, contains 150 slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling den is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The original gambling den in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown soon opened. A total of 150 slot machines and five table games at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machines and sixty eight gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slot machine games and 70 table games and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slot machine games and ninety six table games, including 87 baccarat banque (the most popular game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machine games and sixty six of the common table games, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again in a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machines and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an international vacation and hotel building that features numerous amenities aside from the gambling den, which offers ten thousand sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty one armed bandits and 88 table games.
