There is a captivating background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just across the border from next door Thailand, where casino betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal capital acquired from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of many border crossings.
