There is a fascinating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just across the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is against the law. Eight gambling dens are based in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are supposedly required to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.
The initial Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in 1998, leaving just a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, features one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of blackjack, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
