Economics and statistics

Cambodia's industry economy relies on two cores: urban and resort IRs (Phnom Penh, coast) and border clusters (Poipet, Bavet) focused on foreign demand.

Revenue is generated by gaming halls of slots and tables (with a high share of baccarat and VIP), hotel and restaurant segment and related services.

The budget receives royalties, gross gaming income (GGR) tax, corporate taxes and VAT; transparent reporting, KYC/AML and cashless cash desks are critical for operators.

Industry drivers - tourist flows, restoration of air traffic and transit across borders; exchange rates and cost of capital affect margins and fleet renewal.

After the online segment was curtailed, the focus of capital and marketing shifted to offline IR, where the share of cashless transactions and loyalty programs is growing.

Basic KPIs: GGR by segment (slots/tables/VIP), share of tourists in visits, occupancy of halls by day/hour, average check, cashless share, tax burden to GGR, cost-to-revenue (commissions, VIP hosting), player return rate and transit traffic at borders.

The general vector is cautious growth, depending on tourism and the quality of compliance, while competing with the countries of the region.
