Authorities in Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam are set to increase unannounced inspections of gaming service facilities catering to foreign tourists, targeting establishments suspected of violations.
According to VNExpress, Le Huu Hoang, vice chairman of the Khanh Hoa People’s Committee, announced that police will work alongside the Department of Finance, the Department of Culture and Sports, and the Department of Taxation to enhance oversight of companies offering prize-based gaming services.
Currently, nine businesses in the province are licensed by the Ministry of Finance to provide gaming services with prizes.
Since 2022, eight of these facilities have been regularly monitored, including notable establishments such as Tan Viet at Sunrise Hotel and Sovico Khanh Hoa at Evason Ana Mandara Nha Trang Hotel.
However, the East Ocean Real Estate-Tourist company at Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel has not undergone consistent inspections despite submitting regular reports on its gaming operations. This company is now slated for additional checks in collaboration with local authorities.
