There is an appealing history to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just over the dividing line from neighboring Thailand, where casino gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are established in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect destination, a three to 4 hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal capital accrued from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is accurate of many borders.
