There is a captivating background to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, in which gambling hall wagering is prohibited. Eight casinos are anchored in a relatively tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia.

Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai blue-collar workers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than 12.5 million dollars, and there are a number of controls constraints for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are cryptic. The borders are ceremoniously open from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is real of most borders.
