There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from next door Thailand, in which gambling hall betting is prohibited. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime spot, a three to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and tourists from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a couple of Westerners. The astonishing income acquired from the gambling halls ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; still, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are ways around this, as is real of most borders.
