There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from next door Thailand, in which casino gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a generally small area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, funding sources are vague. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary bateau gambling den, contains 150 slots and 60 table games. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with 42 tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, four tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
