Vietnam has
suspended a three-year casino pilot program. The pilot was launched in 2016 to assess the social and economic consequences of legalizing gambling for Vietnamese citizens under strict conditions. To get into the casino, the Vietnamese had to go through a rigorous check: confirm a minimum monthly income of $ 400 and pay an entrance fee of $40 million per day or $ 990 for a monthly subscription. Now officials have decided to evaluate the results of the experiment, but it is still unknown when the Vietnamese will be able to legally spin the slots again.
