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.
Leong then placed his bets within 20 numbered regions on the wheel and they were all located next to each other.
And should the ball land elsewhere, Ng would deliberately overpay Leong the next time he won to make up
for the losses.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Ruth Wong said that Ng received 35 per cent of his accomplice's winnings.
However, their illegal transactions were captured on the casino's closed circuit television and a shift
manager informed the authorities on October 9.
Both Ng and Leong faced 96 charges each and pleaded guilty to eight of them.
Leong's lawyer, Mr Michael Yap, told the court that his client - who used to be a driver - quit his job to gamble full-time.
Leong was initially on a winning streak, making between S$300 and S$1,000 every day.
However, his luck ran out and he lost over S$50,000 at the casino.
Mr Yap, who asked the court not to give his client an "excessive punishment", said that Leong has planned to return to his former job after serving his jail term.
Ng's defence counsel, Mr Siva S Krishnasamy, said that it was his client's first brush with the law.
Before handing out her sentence, District Judge Jasbendar Kaur said that a "severe sentence" was required in this case.
She stressed that the amount involved was not small and the "blatant and persistent" acts of crime took place on five different days.
Leong is the second person to be convicted in court for being in cahoots with a croupier to cheat a local casino.
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.
