Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has declared victory in his fight against football betting shops in Phnom Penh.
Last month, the prime minister blamed football betting, along with slot machine games, for causing social disorder, domestic violence, divorce and robbery.
Kyodo news agency reports the prime minister has now announced his campaign to close the shops is over.
CamboSix, the largest football-betting agency in Cambodia, was given a 10-year licence as the only legal operator of football betting in Cambodia in 2001.
But that licence is now said to have been cancelled.
Hun Sen also says he'll set up a panel of legal experts to study other forms of game-related betting.
