There is a fascinating history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is banned. Eight casinos are situated in a generally small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.
The first Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored bateau casino, features one hundred and fifty slot machine games and 60 gaming tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with forty two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
