There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are established in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and although visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most border crossings.

The Naga river boat is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of blackjack, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and 1 each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
