There is a fascinating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino betting is against the law. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are means around this, as is correct of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling dens opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving only one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked barge gambling den, highlights 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga river boat never closes with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
