There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is not allowed. Eight casinos are established in a generally small location in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime spot, a three to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling dens ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be largely Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are ways around this, as is correct of most borders.
