I once asked in a couple of cafes attached to guest houses if mahjong was played there.
In both cases, the staff looked at me as if I had said something wrong.
Is playing mahjong illegal or for khmers only?
What about cards?
playing cards or mahjong legal in cafes?

It's illegal to gamble outside of casinos. Playing cards is seen in a very bad light, you might see a few drivers playing a game in an overlooked corner sometimes but they do risk arrest. I've never seen Majong played here, no doubt it exists in casinos or private games. It always seemed pretty harmless to me.

Doubt many Khmer play mahjong besides a handful of wealthy Chinese Khmer housewives. Never seen it played on the streets.
Chess, or the local form, is played all over town. Every day in the park in front of the Cambodiana. Cards too. Small money often in play
