Vietnam locals-in-casinos trial doomed to fail?

Czech Republic-based gaming and lottery operator Synot Group has opened its second casino in Vietnam.

Synot opened its first Vietnamese gaming hall in December 2015 in the north central coastal province of Nghe An. Last week, Synot expanded its Vietnamese presence with the launch of a new gaming venue in the city of Nha Trang on the country’s south central coast.

Last week’s ceremonial opening was attended by Synot business director Miroslav Valenta, who said the new “luxury casino” would feature an unspecified number of Synot’s own video lottery terminals as well as roulette. Valenta said Synot continues to explore similar business opportunities in other East Asian markets.
