There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where casino wagering is prohibited. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is real of most borders.
The initial Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a docked ship gambling hall, highlights one hundred and fifty slots and sixty table games. The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
