There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling dens that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, where casino gambling is against the law. Eight gambling halls are anchored in a generally small location in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership.

The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and even though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most borders.
