There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling den gambling is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime area, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest betting centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The astonishing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and even though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are ways around this, as is true of many borders.
