There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are apparently needed to cross, there are means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in 1998, leaving just a single gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort.
