Cambodia Betting Houses
There is an interesting background to the Cambodia casinos that lie just across the border from neighboring Thailand, where gambling establishment wagering is illegal. Eight bettings houses are located in the relatively tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia bettings houses is in the prime location, a 3 to 4 drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two largest wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling establishments do a booming business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only really few Westerners. The incredible earnings gained from the gambling establishments ranges from 7 dollars.five million to over 12.5 million, and there are few constraints or registration requirements for betting house ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; even so, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from nine a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and despite the fact that visas are theoretically required to cross, you’ll find methods to circumspect this, as is true of the majority of border crossings.
