Cambodia Gambling Dens


[ English ]

There is a captivating history to the Cambodia gambling halls that reside just over the border from nearby Thailand, in which casino betting is not permitted. Eight gambling dens are established in a relatively tiny space in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia. This collection of Cambodia gambling halls is in a prime destination, a 3 to four hour travel from Bangkok and Macao, the two biggest gambling centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling dens do a huge business with Thai laborers and travelers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very couple of Westerners. The amazing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from seven and a half million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a number of restrictions requirements for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; although, investment sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact visas are for all intents and purposes necessary to cross, there are methods and means around this, as is correct of many borders.
