There is an appealing background to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den betting is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a generally small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling halls is in an excellent location, a 3 to four hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the gambling dens ranges from $7.5 million to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are allegedly needed to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is real of most border crossings.
