Cambodia Gambling Halls
There is an appealing history to the Cambodia casinos that reside just over the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling hall betting is illegal. Eight gambling dens are situated in a generally small location in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect location, a three to 4 hour trip from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a thriving business with Thai blue-collar workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with just a few Westerners. The phenomenal income acquired from the casinos ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over 12.5 million, and there are a few restrictions constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; although, investment sources are cryptic. The borders are formally open from 0900 to 1700, and although visas are allegedly necessary to cross, there are means around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
