There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the border from next door Thailand, where casino gaming is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a generally tiny location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and even though visas are allegedly required to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort.
