There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from next door Thailand, where casino betting is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a three to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is real of many borders.
