Cambodia casinos do a booming business with Thai workers and guests from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only really few Westerners. The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from seven dollars.five million to over 12 million, and there are few limitations or registration prerequisites for gambling establishment ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; on the other hand, investment sources are vague.
