3 western foreigners were arrested

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

It might be a form of gambling but it appears you think poker is in the same bracket as games played against the house that are statistically impossible to beat over a sustained period such as BJ & roulette which shows you don't know anything about it at all so your opinion on it counts for very little.

I doubt very much that any of the people in these small card games has gone to prison. More likely a negotiated fine and a signed form saying they'll never do it again.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
