Naga Bringing in More Slot Machines 

NagaWorld, Ltd. has signed a deal to bring in another 200 slot machines – and the people of Phnom Penh could not be more divided over the decision. The casino is the only one in the country that is licensed, and as it already offers slot machines, many felt that this was more than enough already. But proponents of the slot machines are thrilled as they say that there were not enough before and now they can really enjoy themselves. 

NagaWorld has signed a deal with Elixir Gaming Technology to supply the slot machines to the casino. They will be bringing in an additional 200 slot machines to the luxury casino which will bring their number from 440 to 640. They said that they expect that the first 120 of the slot machines will be up and running the first quarter of the year and that the rest of them will be ready by the end of the second quarter. 

The deal comes with a hefty price tag as the slot machine distributor has to pay the casino a $5.48 million commitment fee by the end of January and the companies will share the revenue from the slot machines. Elixir will get 25% of the revenues and the casino will get the rest. As they are the only casino that is allowed to offer slot machines the distributor knows that there is a lot of revenue to be had at that location. If people want to gamble then they have to go there. 

The slot machines are not all wine and roses though. There are some who are very upset at what they see as completely unnecessary. They argue that the amount of slot machines that they had already was too much and that by bringing in more they are going to be facing more crime and addiction than before.
