Cambodia Casinos
There is a captivating story to the Cambodia gambling dens that sit just across the dividing line from nearby Thailand, where gambling hall wagering is not legal. Eight casinos are based in a relatively tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This group of Cambodia gambling dens is in an excellent destination, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular gaming centers in Asia. Cambodia casinos do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The amazing capital gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few limitations requirements for gambling den ownership. Ownership is assumed to be mostly Thai; however, financial sources are ambiguous. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 17:00, and despite the fact visas are apparently required to cross, there are means around this, as is real of many borders.
The 1st Cambodia casinos premiered in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were forced to close in the late nineties, leaving only a single casino in the capital, the Naga Resort.
