There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just over the border from next door Thailand, in which casino gaming is not legal. Eight casinos are situated in a relatively small space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a three to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering locations in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The astonishing income gained from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a few controls requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mostly Thai; however, financing sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and although visas are supposedly necessary to cross, there are methods around this, as is correct of many borders.
