VietNamNet Bridge – As the domestic casinos bar their doors to Vietnamese, they have been going to Cambodia to gamble.
It was Saturday. The bus No. 703 departing from Ben Thanh Market in the central area of HCM City to the duty-free supermarket close to the Moc Bai border gate in Tay Ninh province was full of passengers. The majority of them were middle aged women.
The women did not go to the supermarket to do shopping. Their actual destination point is the casino, beyond the border line, in Cambodian territory, just 3 kilometers far from the Moc Bai border gate.
Be Tu, a woman, said she is a freelancer in HCM City. As her business has become unsatisfactory recently, she has decided to earn her living with gambling.
Everyday Tu takes bus to the Moc Bai border gate and then takes a taxi motorbike to the casino in Cambodia. Later of the day, she takes bus from Moc Bai to HCM City at 8 pm.
'I can earn $50 a day which is high enough to cover my basic needs and feed the family,' Be Tu said.
However, Tu has lost a house in district 8 in HCM City because she lost at gambling.
Tu said some 80 percent of Vietnamese gamblers go to the casino near the Moc Bai border gate.
The high demand from the Vietnamese like Be Tu has prompted foreign casino investors to seek their business opportunities in Vietnam.
Sheldon Adelson, President of Las Vegas Sands, has flown to Vietnam three times so far to seek business opportunities. During the latest trip to Vietnam, in late November, at the meeting with Vietnamese Minister of Planning and Investment, he once again affirmed his wish to develop two resort complexes with casinos in Hanoi and HCM City, worth $6 billion.
The trip has been described as an 'active response' by the international investors' community to the Decree No. 86 on the electronic games for foreigners in Vietnam.
However, the decree has once again, affirmed the Vietnamese government's viewpoint that Vietnamese are not allowed to go to casinos, and that the casinos' doors are open only to foreigners or Vietnamese with foreign passports.
This is clearly a big barrier that makes Sands hesitant in making investment decision. George Tanasijevich, CEO of Marina Bay Sands belonging to Sands Group also said the investment in a resort complex would much depend on the profit from casinos.
Since the Decree No.86 still puts a barrier to prevent Vietnamese from entering casinos, Be Tu and a lot of other people have to go to Cambodian casinos instead. Sources said that billions of dollars have been going out of the Vietnamese territory every year to serve the gambling.
Despite the Decree No. 86, foreign investors never give up hopes, because they understand the high demand of Vietnamese. Analysts have noted that foreign investors have taken one step ahead in anticipation of the opportunities which are believed to come, sooner or later.
Asian Coast Development Limited (ACDL) still continues its Ho Tram Strip project in Ba Ria – Vung Tau, capitalized at $4 billion, which is expected to get completed by 2020.
Hoang Dat Silver Shores Exceptional International Entertainment has poured $1.6 billion into Crowne Plaza Da Nang, a complex with a resort and casino.

VietNamNet Bridge – Thousands of Vietnamese women have become familiar clients of casinos along the Vietnam-Cambodia border.
There are 14 casinos in Cambodia, which are located very near from the Vietnam-Cambodia border. Up to half of them (Winn, Le Macao, Chateau, Las Vegas Sun or Titan King) are built in Bavet in Svay Rieng province to mainly serve Vietnamese gamblers. Vietnamese gamblers, including thousands of women, often pass the Moc Bai border gate in the southern province of Tay Ninh to Bavet.
VietNamNet's reporters visited casino Winn at 10 am on a Saturday. This casino is known recently for ruthless assaults against indebted gamblers.
According to the casino's rules, visitors are not allowed to bring cell phones, cameras, sound recorders, etc. into the casino. These items must be locked in the casino's safety boxes. Casino staffs in black trousers and white shirts always smile with customers.
The casino was chock-a-block with gamblers, especially at baccarat, roulette and black jack tables.
Casino Winn, a popular destination in the tours of a transnational tourism company, is decorated luxuriously. The rooms are lit with hundreds of lamps, which make gamblers forget the time.
Around one hour after we entered the casino, the number of players at black jack tables increased sharply. Around 70 percent of them were women.
A middle-aged woman approached us, introducing herself as Hien, a Vietnamese, a creditor at the casino. Hien said she was able to lend us as much as we need. After we refused to borrow money from her, M, a guide said that if a gambler borrows $100, he will have to pay $10 for each winning game. In the case that the gambler loses all his money, the creditor will send his/her employees to escort the debtor to his/her home to take money or call the debtor's family to come to the casino to pay the debt to ransom the debtor.
There are a lot of tragedies related to Vietnamese women at this casino. Hoang, a former staff member at casino Winn, who currently works for a car repair shop in Bavet, said, 'Many Vietnamese women often give guards VND50,000-70,000 to remind them to call their husbands at a certain time to trick their husbands into thinking that they are at home'.
Hoang said some women lost tens of thousands of USD a day at gambling.
Recently HCM City People's Court sentenced four women who swindled assets to gamble in Cambodia. One was sentenced to 13 years in jail and three others to 3-5 years in jail.
These women leased at least six cars at the price of $1300/month and then mortgaged the cars for $15,000 in Tay Ninh to gamble in Cambodian casinos.
In the latest case, the wife of a journalist in the southern province of Long An has just confessed to burning her husband to death after he didn't agree to sell their house to pay her debts at casinos in Cambodia.
This case is now the center of public attention and is fresh evidence of the tragedies caused by women who are gambling addicts.
In recent years 'gambling ladies' have become familiar words in the local media. In HCM City alone, police investigated hundreds of gambling cases each year and over half of the gamblers are women.
According to police, women who gamble at home belong to various social classes but there are a few really rich women. However, most of women who gamble in Cambodia are wealthy women or state employees.
In 2008, the cashier of the Post Office of Bac Lieu province was sentenced to death for appropriating over VND15.3 billion ($765,000) to gamble.
In October 2009, Vu Thi Ba, 32, an employee of a state agency in Ha Dong district, Hanoi, was prosecuted for appropriating a car for money to gamble.
In HCM City, a woman named Trang is very 'famous' among casino ladies. The young girl gambled in Hanoi, Hai Phong, HCM City, Tay Ninh and Cambodia. She lost up to $40,000 a night at a casino in Cambodia.
She used fake documents to withdraw over VND400 million ($20,000) of a joint stock company in Hanoi.
In May 2010, police arrested Nguyen Thi Hanh, 32, in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai for swindling. Earlier Hanh was a famous coffee trader in Gia Lai. From July to November 2009, this women received cash from partners to purchase coffee and borrowed money from four companies and eleven individuals totaling over VND17 billion (around $900,000). However, she only paid over VND5 billion for coffee and gambled away the remaining cash.
