There is an appealing background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a generally tiny location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent location, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mainly Thai; still, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly necessary to pass, there are means around this, as is true of many borders.
