"Hell black red" in Phnom Penh

Human missions in Cambodia, we had the opportunity to come to NagaWorld - "paradise dissipated" famous not only Cambodia but also of Asia. However, this is also the "hell" of those black red passion to spread bankrupt, out of jail ...
22 hours a day beginning in June, from Phnom Penh Phokeethra Sofitel hotel, we only lost $ 3 to go to NagaWorld tuk tuk. NagaWorld is located in central Phnom Penh, has the same design as a "version" of Diamond Plaza in Saigon but much more superficial. Towering fountains, splendid with colored lights front lobby makes the scene more spectacular casino.
Right from the lobby has the distinction "medium class" while only 4-wheel drive vehicles are allowed to stop ill-edge front hall to the reception staff dressed in traditional Khmer open houses. Front parking area casinos, people and cars jammed as wedges, from taxi and tuk tuk to buses to pick up guests of the Vip ... out into nuop nuop.
 A poker table
NagaWorld building consisting of 13 floors, divided into 4 regions with the casino and restaurant complex, hotels. Who wants to have to go through the inner door security check, and then face the security personnel to high, elegant in black suit, five-five hand-talkie.
Unlike the guests stepped down from Mercedes, Lexus or Camry polished, friendly tuk tuk crowd we were greeted by the warm little eyes.
Before us is the area on the ground with four shiny chandelier. Tiled floor, without a stain, immense. Hall of NagaWorld is ornate. Roaring music, lights brightly lit color, crunch laughing voices made the atmosphere becomes agitation. To please guests, the house also organizes concerts with local singers wearing traditional costumes dancing funky, guests wear jewelry watch, free rein to dance.
Across the hall, turn to the right is to the casino area. Unlike the day before, anyone out into the casino also must "send" the handbag, phone or recording device, now these procedures have been removed. Not because NagaWorld "open" than that it is by a security camera system has been arranged on the ceiling dense communities with hundreds of employees, tall bodyguards constantly follow visitors.

Looked up high we realize regional ceiling dome designed casino with the blue sky, clouds drifting lãng makes no different scenery are outdoors. Thanks to this stunning false sky that customers can not distinguish play was night or day, put their best on the red black sa chance. Floors splendid red carpet. Between the card table, well-designed landscape for visitors beautiful silver just relax and play.
Ground floor casino area has hundreds of tables with the girls dealer "with tired" in short dress uniforms. The girl is Khmer "hybrid" quite fair, auburn colored hair, dark eyes of a man, pink lips, arms dealer smoothly. Sitting high chair next to the female manager in a black suit polite and equally beautiful. Normally, at the casino have a girl main dealer, if the dealer loses, management will command for the replacement worker immediately.
I pulled out my phone enlist the corner, then choose a lady opposite was detected. She said something to me in a voice grumpy, but I guess she thought I had taken pictures of her. I quickly apologized in an English sentence and the hearing impaired.
But then I got a guy who guards blocked. He asked in English, that if I did not take pictures, and asking to check my phone. Only if the casino does not see images in the new machine have left him, but my eyes remained oriented alert, inquisitive. From this point on, all sides around the I have bodyguards, employees of the radio handle continuous contact with each other, and certainly not when they take their eyes off "strangers".
Being noticed, I had shy away from the playing area and move all of the region in exchange for casino guests. Here, I pay special attention to two women Vietnam with not very luxurious appearance. Young woman wearing shoulder small bag, holding pink purse urged people to go along: "She treated 20 bottles, sun injury, to incense, where that change slightly lat mice". Saying, This man pulled in for a thick pile of money, 500 thousand denominations of hocus change. Unlike in border casino, casino in Phnom Penh has a much higher value. Particularly at NagaWorld, want to participate in gambling, the gambler must change hocus lowest denominations are $ 20. This is the price for the area below, and want to change hocus upstairs from $ 100 upwards.

Change is complete, the two women walked toward slurred where casinos are gambling with all forms like blackjack. Just pull up a chair for the gambling, the young woman offered a female gamblers were there from before. This man seems to have lost a lot, no sad faces sa variation and answer questions, just be open 6 hocus on palm, if I'm not mistaken, only 2 hocus worth USD 50 / hocus-and the rest is all hocus $ 20.
After a few minutes of observation, the young woman has to put even 5 hocus (each worth $ 20 hocus) box Banker (dealer). Booking is done, this sister who accompany ear said: "She put on Player (players) go, I lose, but also her". Place finished, she put a hand over half of face anxious type. Presentations done, the victory belongs to the house. This plank alone she won. The second set, she boldly put 2 hocus $ 100 on the house. "Banker win!" (Bank wins). Her voice has definitely dealer, this sister amused applause rewarded his victory.
At the table Rulex, like crabs play in our election, put money in the form, if someone place the deer, winners will be eating 20 times; tiger is 40 times; Cock image is 60 times ... "Save" This post attracts many novice gamblers to play. In this table, a side room off angry when he ordered the horse box. Touched hocus, he continued to devote entrance chicken to remove the gauze.
After two minutes, the cell boards in silver finish ... deer when only one person put a hocus-50. Who has won a Khmer girl in short dress appears chunky, late chest, puffed on fragrant cigar. Her husband 50USD hocus-type tall. The impulsively gambler "look under" a little luck but continuous fall.
According to our observations, the table set, the dealer was willing to use video cameras adjusted results. Each time gamblers devote certain box, make sure the dealer will not place the cell. The dealer has mobilized a large number of children long leg to the guests. This girl probably under army decoys - that wooden leg. Evidence that she rated very professional and showed no emotion no matter win or lose every game of a thousand dollars.
UK you accompany me, which is the people guided tours in Cambodia says longtime small: "The ground floor is for ordinary gamblers. Higher level located on 12 floors. Whereupon they are beautiful beyond description, playing cards arranged guest bedroom, drinking drop rig West ". If the ground floor, the gambler is $ 20, the lowest place in the VIP section, the lowest is 100. Above that is not as noisy as the ground floor but pretty quiet. This is the area for gamblers giants.
According to you I say, they are the hands of real estate trade, restaurant owners, great hotel, great country from HCMC, Can Tho, Hanoi and Haiphong ... And the gamblers come from the US South Korea, China mostly all the corporations multinationals.
Continue to the island through the operational area of ​​the gambler in NagaWorld, we encountered many men, women, older and Shanshan, the boys and girls who stand people sit in the cheering for winning silver or growling sounds, screams of warriors consecutive defeat. English rotation rulex creek, clean, sound absorbers all of the machines were magic rattling Footbinding anyone set foot here.
And there are many Vietnamese tourists from outside came in. Because development is a dream fortune fortune should fit into them, he approached the source of the sound excited cheers of those who were silver and furious combat, no one has bothered to sit defeated soldiers stood in amazement, Briefs are sighing because burning charcoal bag.
Four o'clock in the morning, we leave NagaWorld to retire after a sleepless night, but the atmosphere at the casino still thick smell of drugs and the wobbly gait for lost items and drunk. The sky started to gleam. Wind blowing from the Mekong river in the cool. We saw the load of vegetables is to market soon. The tuk tuk drivers is later buried in night sleep had got up to see gamblers come out from Naga. They did not dream to win silver but wished to make a few dollars enough to survive
