The Vietnamese
Government is considering a mechanism to facilitate casino development and
gambling.
At the press conference on March 6, Head of the Government Office Vu
Duc Dam revealed that the Government was gathering opinions to create a
framework for the operation of casinos which will be open for both foreigners
and locals.
Dam said, “We allowed Phu Quoc to open a casino three years ago. And
now, after another proposal to open a casino in Quang Ninh, we recognised that
casinos have the potential to be a major business.
That’s why the issue requires a detailed discussion to ensure that
there is sufficiently well thought out management. Social order and security
also need to be maintained”
A request from Quang Ninh People’s Committee to license a resort
complex and casino triggered public discussion. The Ministry of Planning and
Investment has already drawn up a document analysing the pros and cons of
allowing casinos to operate in Vietnam.
Despite the presence of numerous casinos in the country Vietnamese
citizens are currently banned from gambling in casinos.
Dam said Vietnam is continuing to study other countries which have
legal gambling.
