There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which casino wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular 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 few Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat gambling den, contains one hundred and fifty slots and sixty gaming tables. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

There are 150 slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slot machine games and 68 tables at the Holiday Palace.
