The board of directors has not yet announced the decision to appoint replacements. The legal representative is board chairman Lin Yi Huang.

The company recorded a loss of over VND456 million ($19,500) in the second quarter this year. It was the 11th consecutive loss making quarter for Vietnam’s only listed casino company (RIC).
