Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are based in a relatively small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent spot, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and although visas are allegedly required to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of many borders.
