Eight casinos are positioned inside a fairly tiny area in the city of Poipet in Cambodia.

The incredible earnings gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to over twelve and a half million, and there are couple of limitations or registration prerequisites for gambling establishment ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mostly Thai; on the other hand, investment sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to five p.m., and even though visas are allegedly required to cross, there are ways around this, as is true of the majority of border crossings.
