What is the NagaWorld casino?
The NagaWorld casino is inside an integrated resort at Samdech Techo Hun Sen Park, Phnom Penh2. The operator is NagaCorp3. It is the only casino in the capital, according to a July 2024 report: Phnom Penh has a single casino, NagaWorld1.
It began as a temporary casino on a boat. The venue opened in May 1995 on the Mekong River and moved ashore in 20031. Through 2045, NagaCorp alone has gaming rights in a 200 km radius of Phnom Penh1.
Can Malaysians gamble at the NagaWorld casino?
Malaysians can gamble at the NagaWorld casino as foreign visitors. Cambodia’s casinos are open only to foreigners1, which is why a Malaysian passport holder is the intended customer, not an exception. Bring your passport: a search snippet of Wikipedia’s Cambodia gambling article says a foreign passport is required to enter4.
Whether Malaysians need a visa for Cambodia is unconfirmed2 here. Ask the Cambodian embassy before you book.
What is inside the NagaWorld casino?
NagaWorld says its casino has 24-hour gaming on two floors2. Beyond standard tables and slots it lists Keno, a Sports Book and Texas Hold’em poker2, plus a private VIP salon with higher limits2. The site’s casino menu names these areas:
| Area | What the menu lists |
|---|---|
| Public floors | Public Hall, Naga 2, Rapid I, Rapid II |
| Poker and sports | The Arena Poker & Sports Bar |
| Premium | Jin Zun Club, Private Gaming Suites |
The menu is a list of labels. It does not say who may enter which area, and the full set is Naga 2, Public Hall, The Arena Poker & Sports Bar, Rapid I, Rapid II, Jin Zun Club and Private Gaming Suites2. The loyalty scheme is NagaWorld Rewards2; we did not read its rules.
How is NagaWorld performing in 2026?
NagaCorp’s gross gaming revenue was US$417.9 million for the first nine months of 2026, down 21.5%3, per an Inside Asian Gaming headline. The same headline says VIP weakness got worse in the September quarter. The article body would not load, so there is no breakdown between VIP and mass play.
What has changed in Cambodia that affects casinos?
Two Cambodian government moves affect casinos. In 2024 the prime minister banned new casinos in Kep and Kampot, except Bokor Mountain1. In September 2026 he announced that all online gambling operations at land-based casinos would halt from October 20265, according to The Star. We read only the headline summary of that report, and how it is enforced is unconfirmed. This site does not cover online gambling. See the Cambodia region guide for the wider picture.

How does NagaWorld compare with Genting?
The rules differ more than the games. Genting Highlands admits people 21 and over6, regardless of nationality, while NagaWorld admits foreigners only and has not published an age. For Malaysian context read the Genting guide; for another Asian resort that admits Malaysians as foreign visitors, see Okada Manila.
