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 not allowed. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 09:00 to 1700, and although visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
