Vietnamese players must meet certain conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Vietnam.- The Grand Ho Tram<\/strong> resort in Ba Ria-Vung Tau opened its casino to Vietnamese players from Monday (January 5) after receiving permission from the government in November under a five-year pilot programme<\/a>. It’s the second casino in Vietnam allowed to accept local players after Corona Resort and Casino<\/a> in Phu Quoc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEO Walt Power<\/strong> said the casino would introduce a responsible gaming framework<\/a> modelled after best practices from Singapore and Macau. This will include on-site information centres, staff training to identify at-risk behaviours, voluntary self-exclusion options and community education initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ho Tram currently operates 90 tables and 400 machines, with the capacity to expand. Analysts expect the resort to reinvest to accelerate development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corona Resort and Casino began accepting Vietnamese players under a pilot programme in 2019 and has now been granted permanent permission. Sun Group’s upcoming development in Van Don<\/a> will also accept local players but will not be fully open until around 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese players must be at least 21 years old, have full civil act capacity and demonstrate a stable monthly income of at least VND10m (US$400) or be subject to grade-3 income tax or higher. They must not be subject to written objection from their parents, spouse or siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
