There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall gaming is prohibited. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a perfect area, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few limitations constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 1700, and though visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
