A croupier at the Marina Bay Sands casino overpaid an accomplice a total of $3,000 in casino chips on top of her winnings of $200 in four games.
A sharp-eyed surveillance operator manning the video monitor, however, grew suspicious at the haste in which the patron grabbed her winnings off the baccarat table.
Video footage of the table was scrutinised and it showed what Ho Kee Hwa was up to on July 28, 2011.
On Thursday, the 42-year-old former croupier was sentenced to 11 weeks’ jail. He pleaded guilty to committing criminal breach of trust of $3,050.
