Insights by Echo AI
Since early 2026, a crackdown on online fraud has led to the closure of nearly 100 licensed casinos in Sihanoukville, leaving hundreds of local workers unemployed and struggling to find jobs. On July 30, Asia Royal Casino received hundreds of job applications despite heavy rain, as residents sought to fill around 150 positions. Many applicants revealed facing food shortages and debt pressures, with some falling victim to scams posing as job offers. The Cambodian Labor Ministry reported manufacturing jobs were available, but many preferred service industry jobs due to wage gaps. Asia Royal Casino opened a new hall this month, sparking a frenzy among locals for the few available jobs.
