There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, in which gambling hall gambling is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
