Top Secret Casino
There is an interesting story to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls 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 acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are apparently needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of most borders.
The 1st Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in the mid nineties, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only 1 gambling den in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship casino, contains one hundred and fifty slot machines and sixty gaming tables. The Naga gambling hall is open all hours with 42 tables of mini-baccarat, four tables of 21, ten of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
