There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that lie just across the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino gaming is not allowed. Eight gambling halls are situated in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The amazing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly needed to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most border crossings.
