Croupier and punter jailed for cheating RWS of nearly S$29,000

SINGAPORE: A former croupier at the Resorts World Sentosa casino and a full-time gambler were jailed Tuesday for working together to cheat the attraction of nearly S$29,000 between October 2 and 9 last year.

Within the same period of time, 24-year-old Ng Wuey Kiang, who manned a Roulette table, also overpaid his accomplice, 39-year-old Leong Teck Leong a total sum of about S$1,700.

They were each sentenced to 21 months in jail.

Ng had controlled the movement of the ball used at his Roulette table such that it would always land within a pre-determined area.

However, their illegal transactions were captured on the casino's closed circuit television and a shift manager informed the authorities on October 9.

Leong is the second person to be convicted in court for being in cahoots with a croupier to cheat a local casino. Both he and Ng were each sentenced to 21 months in jail.

Earlier this month, 32-year-old Tan Tiong Loon, who is unemployed, was sentenced to 54 months' jail after cheating the Marina Bay Sands casino of S$31,500.

Tan's alleged accomplice, former dealer 24-year-old Keith Yong Kee-Hwei will be back in court Wednesday.
