There is an interesting history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, where gambling den wagering is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is accurate of many borders.

The original Cambodia casinos opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a moored boat gambling den, highlights 150 slot machines and 60 tables. The Naga casino is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, 4 tables of chemin de fer, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
