There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den betting is illegal. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most borders.
