There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling hall gambling is banned. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively small space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This band of Cambodia gambling dens is in a prime location, a 3 to four hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 largest gaming locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a thriving business with Thai workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a number of restrictions constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; although, financing sources are ambiguous. The borders are formally open from 09:00 to 17:00, and even though visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods and means around this, as is real of many border crossings.
