As Singapore attempts to take a slice of the pie that is Asia's emerging gaming industry, its courts have been busy doling out disciplinary action on cheating gamblers. So far, none have been locals.Since the casino’s opening in February, similar incidents have occurred. In April, a group of three visitors (two French nationals and a Spanish national) allegedly nearly cheated the casino out of US$10,000 via the same method on the roulette tables.
And a Chinese national was caught and jailed for 10 months trying to place a S$600 past-post bet on a dice game called Tai Sai, which would have earned him S$6,000 at the casino.
Though Singapore is known for its strict crime laws, gamblers have been testing the waters to see how much they can get away with. Watch this space.
