A Malaysian odd-job worker would place bets with other punters and where possible would claim all the winnings for himself.
Lee Ting Hin pleaded guilty on Monday to theft and was sentenced to two weeks in jail.
A district court heard that on April 4, the 31-year-old entered the Marina Bay Sands casino through the foreigner entrance at about 5pm. He placed a $25 chip onto a $50 chip wagered on the Sic-Bo table. This is a game of three dice, also known as Tai Sai.
When the bet won, Lee claimed to be its sole winner and collected the $75 winnings as well as the $75 in chips. He then left the casino.
