There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and even though visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is correct of many borders.
