Among casino properties in Poipet and Bantei Meanchey states that have been ordered to close for the time being due to COVID-19 measures is Star Vegas Resort & Club, a casino resort on the border with Thailand. The closure of Star Vegas began on Tuesday, Australian-listed Donaco International Ltd said.

Donaco said in its filing Wednesday that the provincial government’s order was due to a “COVID-19 community outbreak due to a surge in patients.” “All casino operations in the province have been temporarily suspended since 27 April 2021,” the filing with the Australian Stock Exchange added.

Therefore, Star Vegas announced that it would be “temporarily closed until further notice.” “The continued safety of Donaco’s employees and visitors is paramount, and the company will monitor development and advise the market if there is any further update,” the casino company said.

The Phnom Penh Post newspaper quoted a local health official as saying on Tuesday that 171 COVID-19 cases were reported in the Bantei average state. The news outlet quoted another official as adding that COVID-19 cases were detected from “casino players.” The location or location was not identified in the report. In a February filing, Donaco said the company, which operates casino hotels on the Vietnam-China border for the six months to Dec. 31, returned to positive EBITDA.

On April 1 last year, Star Vegas was temporarily closed along with other casino facilities across the country as a countermeasure against infectious diseases. Casino accommodation reopened on September 25 of that year with limited capacity. 온라인경마
