I had heard rumours about Yangon’s casinos, rare hives of vice and villainy in the busy heart of Myanmar, where cronies gathered to cut shady deals and the only women were of questionable repute.
Online casino games, easily downloadable onto mobile phones, are growing in popularity in Myanmar, and many people who play them are borrowing huge sums of money in the false hope that they will someday hit the jackpot.
