There is a captivating history to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from neighboring Thailand, in which casino gaming is not permitted. Eight casinos are established in a relatively tiny space in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in an excellent area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest betting locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; still, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are apparently needed to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of many borders.
