SINGAPORE: A former video surveillance officer with Marina Bay Sands was charged on Wednesday with 33 counts of cheating the resort's casino of nearly S$150,000.

Ho Boon Keat, 28, allegedly committed the offences between July and August this year.

The stocky man allegedly deceived the pit managers at the "Sic Bo" tables into believing his four accomplices had placed winning bets on 33 separate occasions. This resulted in the casino making payouts of about S$4,500 to an accomplice each time.

"Sic Bo" involves the spinning of three dice and players bet on the outcome of the roll.

Ho will be back in court on September 6. If convicted, he can be jailed up to 10 years and fined for each charge.

in most of these crimes it seems the offenders are former employees.

How many lives were destroyed, how many families were broken, how many suicides, how many went to jail and how many mores crimes were committed since the opening of the 2 casinos?

The bigger question is, Where does all the tax/cover charge money go to? And how does it benefit us or how does it come back to us.

On employment, Correct me if im wrong, But im using pure eye power here.. It seems like locals are in the minority.
On Casino Tourist being beneficial to our Economy, To me i would think that most gamblers only spend time in the casinos and they dont really venture outside the casinos and bring business to locals. Most of them are malaysians/indonesians and locals. I dont see them doing the Tourist thinggy other then 24/7 sitting in the gambling den.
