Also... a lot was written about Cambodia being a poor choice as Vietnam will likely allow their residents to gamble
But
a) Naga World, aka the most successful casino in Cambodia gets only about 20% of visitors from Vietnam http://www.forbes.com/sites/muhamma...orp-makes-casino-holiday-in-cambodia-no-joke/
b) the law forbidding locals to gamble is not enforced - it's estimated that 70% of Naga World's revenue is from locals http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/cambodias-gambling-law-loosely-enforced
c) Cambodia is also working on law changes that will allow locals to gamble, from what you can find on the internet it seems that the question is not "if" but "when" http://www.pokernews.com/news/2014/09/cambodia-to-allow-locals-in-casinos-19284.htm or http://bonusrepublic.com/cambodia-casinos-may-soon-admit-locals-to-keep-pace-with-vietnam-2/
"Phirun said Vietnam’s legal changes would likely need to be matched by Cambodia if the country wants to compete on an equal footing in wooing international investors. Gambling is “an international industry. So now we too have to internationalize the gambling industry.” To brace for the challenges ahead, “we must get the gambling law done – especially with regional integration, we have to be ready.” The law could be finalized by the end of the year, although sometime in 2015 appears more likely."
