Eight casinos are established in a generally small area in the municipality of Poipet in Cambodia.

The astonishing income gained from the casinos ranges from 7.5 million dollars to more than 12.5 million, and there are a couple of controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is required to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are vague.
