There is an fascinating story to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is illegal. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a excellent spot, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are number of limitations requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.

The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling hall, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall never closes with forty two tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, premiered in the late nineties and the Golden Crown quickly followed. There are one hundred and fifty slots and 5 tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slot machines and sixty eight table games at the Holiday Palace. The latest 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 one hundred and sixty six one armed bandits and ninety six gaming tables, including 87 baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with one hundred and thirty five slot machines and sixty six of the familiar tables, as well as a single table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with one hundred and sixty six slots and ninety seven casino games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an comprehensive resort and hotel compound that contains many luxuries in addition to the casino, which provides ten thousand square feet of 130 slot machine games and 88 table games.
