Eight casinos are based in a relatively small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are apparently required to pass, there are methods around this, as is correct of many border crossings.

The Naga, a docked boat gambling den, highlights 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga gambling den is open all day and night with forty two tables of mini-baccarat chemin de fer, 4 tables of vingt-et-un, ten of roulette, 2 of Caribbean Stud Poker, and a single table each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
