Kompongsom Casino is on Ekareach not far from the Golden Lions in the direction of downtown.
The security guards there are not your average rent a cop in a badly fitting uniform. They wear clean, pressed army green.
But more than army, they are wound up so tight they smell like special forces.
The casino is pretty badly designed. One big room on the right with bland white light and just slot machines, two roulette wheels, and tons of bacarat tables. No variation, subdued lighting areas, no comfortable chairs to lounge in. This attention to aesthetics fits an army profile.
The restaurant in the back serves free food. mmm, wonder how someone who wasn't gambling could get it on that?
Is Kompongsom Casino army?

SCC would know...
Don't mention the Giant Panda in the room.
Especially if they had this!Marvin wrote:Timeslot Enigmatic wrote:

Quite common for them to be military police or other services also. Working as a grunt in any of the government services requires them to find additional wagesTimeslot Enigmatic wrote:Kompongsom Casino is on Ekareach not far from the Golden Lions in the direction of downtown.

I have never been to this casino, but you say it is badly designed yet nothing you have said makes it sound different from other Casinos in and around Cambodia. A large amount of Baccarat tables is standard practice since most Casinos generate the bulk of their income from this game.Timeslot Enigmatic wrote: The casino is pretty badly designed.

No comfortable chairs - this is not Brown's Coffee, come in and gamble or f*ck off is a general rule. You will also notice the lack of decent bars or any "rest" areas like you would see in a western casino. Even in Macau most bars or coffee shops are relatively empty as people are there to gamble. The target market for Casinos in Kampong Som is Asian, not dirty backpackers.
The attention to asthetics is only important for those not there to gamble and by gambling I don't mean finding a $5 blackjack game,
Give it a whirl, most casinos are willing to let people enjoy the food while there, but expect not to get a second serving if you don't play.The restaurant in the back serves free food. mmm, wonder how someone who wasn't gambling could get it on that?
GM may correct me if I am wrong, but just my observations from what I have seen
