Asia Gaming Expo yesterday launched a two-day regional gaming expo and conference in Sihanoukville, noting that Cambodia is poised to become a regional gambling hub because of the growing numbers of tourist arrivals for the purpose.

 

This year’s Best Gaming Expo and Conference in South East Asia is focusing on gambling and casino operations in Asia. AGE, which represents the entire gaming industry covering land based and online channels across all sectors, noted that Cambodia is one of few countries in Southeast Asia where gambling is legal.

. .

It said there are 60 legal gambling facilities in the Kingdom, including casinos and sports betting parlours, which are spread over 13 cities.

“Sihanoukville set to become Cambodia’s top casino hub and Chinese gaming operators are rapidly transforming it into the country’s leading casino hotspot,” AGE said in a statement. “Cambodia has issued more than 80 casino licenses by the middle of this year, and Sihanoukville’s casino market is starting to rival that of Poipet and Bavet, which cater to customers who stream across the border from Thailand and Vietnam, respectively.”

One doesn't need to be a genius to know that this is just a replacement for Macau.

More a twin-town. Macau has out performed Vegas for a good many years, and they're still building ever greater palaces to worship Lady Luck. Great all round non-stop entertainment to be had if you're smart enough not to gamble.

The down side is that the Hun Sen dynasty will be around for as long as Singapore's Lee family now, with far less benign outcomes.
