SihanoukVille, Cambodia Casinos in 2010

SihanoukVille saw it's first Decrease in casinos in 2009.  However, the three remaing casinos, Fortuna, Kampong Som City, and Holiday Palace have all seen an increase in customers as a result.

Gambling by local Khmer people has been banned once again (or enforced) by the government. 

Holiday Palace has finished it's multi-year renovation, and is the only casino right on the beach.

Fortuna has also done renovations, and is putting in a new mix of gaming machines.

Kampong Som City has been doing some promotions and giveaways, and has been very successful...

All in all, 2010 looks like a good year to gamble on SihanoukVille.

Casinos and Rain in SihanoukVille, Cambodia

Rain, rain, don't go away! Summer in SihanoukVille, Cambodia is the rainy season. Very few visitors to the beaches (except in July which is one of the busiest times of year). And RAIN. Most days.



With all the rain and so few vacationers, the casinos in SihanoukVille seem very happy. Many people who are here, enjoy the windowless, seasonless atmosphere of the 3 casinos in town, and are happy to while away the hours (and dollars) eating, drinking and gambling.

Fortuna, Holiday and Kampong Som Casinos are all doing quite well at the moment.

And with all the construction around them on new hotels and resorts, it doesn't look like it's slowing down either.

Still, we're waiting a month or two for the sun to come back, 'cause we like our beach time.

SihanoukVille Casinos in 2009

SihanoukVille saw its first decrease in casinos in a long time. Local Cambodian people were banned from the casinos early in the year, and the number of gamblers went down, but the rules seem to have been relaxed lately, and the existing casinos are doing quite well.



Fortuna Casino finished a minor renovation, and has a new mix of machines and a new VIP room.

Holiday Palace Casino seems to have finished their renovations of the last several years, and now has a new coffee shop and spa as part of the casino. They also have the first Indonesian restaurant in town, upstairs.

Kampong Song City Casino is still going strong.

Other than that, it's time to go gamle a dollar and get a free (or $1) beer.
Cheers.
