There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that lie just across the border from nearby Thailand, where casino wagering is against the law. Eight gambling halls are situated in a generally tiny area in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in a perfect area, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the 2 most popular wagering centers in Asia.

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 couple of controls requirements for casino ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; still, funding sources are ambiguous. The borders are ceremoniously open from 09:00 to 17:00, and although visas are for all intents and purposes required to pass, there are methods around this, as is accurate of most border crossings.
