Recently in Cambodia a law was passed that prohibits all gambling activities outside the casinos. On Saturday, police in Chamkarmon district, Cambodia, arrested 23 people and confiscated 72 fish in a fish-fighting and betting ring.
In the typical fish fight, two Siamese fighting fish (native to Cambodia) are placed in the same jar. The fish that retreats to the edge of the jar first is the looser.
Fish fights are allowed, but gambling on the outcome is illegal. The Municipal Police Chief said, "It is not as serious as card-playing, but it is still gambling."
