Star Vegas Resort and Club (pictured in a file photo), a casino resort on Cambodia’s border with Thailand, is among casino properties in Poipet and the rest of Banteay Meanchey province, that have been ordered to close for the time being, as a Covid-19 countermeasure.
The Star Vegas shutdown started on Tuesday, said its promoter, Australia-listed Donaco International Ltd.
Donaco said in a Wednesday filing that the provincial government order was due to a “Covid-19 community outbreak following a surge in cases”.
The filing to the Australian Securities Exchange added: “All casino operations in the province have been temporarily suspended from 27 April 2021.”
