There is an interesting background to the Cambodia bettings houses that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where betting house wagering is illegal. Eight casinos are situated in the fairly tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This area of Cambodia bettings houses is in a prime place, a three to four drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gambling centres in Asia. Cambodia gambling establishments do a successful business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only quite couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the casinos ranges from seven dollars.five million to over 12 million, and there are couple of restrictions or registration prerequisites for gambling establishment ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; however, investment sources are vague. The borders are formally open from nine a.m. to five p.m., and even though visas are supposedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The first Cambodia bettings houses opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, except were pushed to close in 98, leaving only one gambling establishment in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary boat betting house, attributes one hundred and fifty slots and 60 table games. The Naga betting house is open 24 hours with forty-two tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Paigow poker and Tai-Sai.
