There is an appealing story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary barge gambling den, highlights one hundred and fifty one armed bandits and 60 gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open 24 hours with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of 21, 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, opened in 1999 and the Golden Crown quickly followed. A total of 150 slots and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort contains three hundred slots and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has 166 slots and 96 gaming tables, including 87 punto banco (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. Also, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common tables, as well as one table of Casino Stud Poker. An additional of the eight casinos in Poipet, again a part of a motel, is the Princess Casino with 166 slot machine games and 97 games. The Star Vegas Casino is is located in an international resort and hotel complex that contains a number of comforts aside from the gambling hall, which houses ten thousand square feet of one hundred and thirty slots and 88 gaming tables.
