Cambodia News, (Svay Rieng Province): At the Darling 111 Casino in Svay Rieng province, local residents have reported seeing many vehicles with Khmer number plates (motorcycles and cars), going in and out of the casino gateway, which closes in a hurry.

According to an official who asked not to be named, it was revealed that Darling lll Prey Vall Casino is running cock fights. He said that one month ago, the authorities visited the casino and advised them not to organize cock fighting, reminding them that Cambodians are banned from gambling in casinos. Obviously, this casino did not listen to the warning and they are still running the cock-fights, because Cambodians are seen riding motorcycles and cars in and out of this casino every day and all day long.


According to the security staff on duty outside the Darling Casino lll, there is some cock-fighting inside the casino grounds, but only foreign guests are permitted to gamble. Vietnamese do not allow Cambodian guests to play the game, and the cars with the Khmer number plates belong to Vietnamese tour companies that bring foreign guests to gamble in the casino.

Our journalists tried to ask the casino owner for clarification, but the security chief did not allow us to meet or take pictures.
