Eight gambling halls are anchored in a relatively small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia.

The astonishing income accrued from the gambling dens ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling den ownership. Ownership is required to be mainly Thai; however, investment sources are ambiguous.
