53—year—old man appears in court in S’pore’s first casino—related crime case
SINGAPORE: A 53—year—old man has the dubious honour of being the first person to be hauled to court for an alleged gambling offence in a casino here.
Loo Siew Wan is accused of attempting to cheat by impersonation, theft and giving false information to the police.
He allegedly tried to hoodwink a casino dealer at Resorts World Sentosa Casino’s baccarat table by placing a bet of two S$100 chips on the “banker” option after the result of the game had been declared.
He supposedly did this in an attempt to fool the dealer into thinking he had won.
The prosecution has asked for a two—week adjournment to complete investigations.
