There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the border from next door Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The Naga, a docked boat gambling hall, features 150 slot machine games and sixty tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-punto banco, 4 tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.

A total of one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and one hundred and four slots and 68 table games at the Holiday Palace.
