There is a captivating history to the Cambodia casinos that sit just over the border from next door Thailand, in which gambling den gaming is prohibited. Eight gambling halls are based in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia casinos is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular betting centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a thriving business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The phenomenal income accrued from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of controls requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, funding sources are vague. The borders are ceremoniously open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and although visas are for all intents and purposes needed to cross, there are methods around this, as is real of most border crossings.
