The buzz around the Haitunwan Casino in Sihanoukville is hard to ignore right now. Word on the street is that down in the basement, staff quietly walled off four large rooms specifically set up for getting high. Locals and Chinese nationals alike could walk right in and light up, and the crowd coming and going was a real mix.
In a video making the rounds online, Room 3333 is clear as day, and the clip has been spreading fast across chat groups. These days, whatever goes on behind closed doors can blow up with a quick snap of a smartphone camera, and the casino is going to have a hard time brushing this one under the rug.
Down on the streets amid the exhaust fumes and motorbikes, folks in the rental compounds love swapping wild rumors like this. Local media is reporting that whether any of it is actually true will depend on how the authorities decide to investigate and verify what went down.
