There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The 1st Cambodia gambling dens premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and sixty table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The first gambling hall in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly opened. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and 5 table games at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace. The latest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features 300 one armed bandits and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and 96 gaming tables, including 87 baccarat banque (the most dominant game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Additionally, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the normal gaming tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. One more of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slot machine games and 97 table games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an all-inclusive resort and hotel compound that contains a number of comforts in addition to the gambling den, which provides ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 table games.
