A Malaysian man was fined $3,000 on Thursday for stealing two pieces of $1,000 casino chips from a gambler.

Mong Wai Cheong, 34, pleaded guilty to theft of the chips from businessman Loi Kheng Chin, 49, at a Sic Bo table at Marina Bay Sands casino on May 15.

The court heard that Mr Loi placed two pieces of $1,000 chips on the "small'' betting area at the Sic Bo table. He left for the next table to gamble.

Just then, Mong saw the $2,000 cash chips and grabbed them. He left the casino but returned later to cash out the chips and left again.

Actually, if someone (A) place a 500 chip on banker. And there are a lot of players placing 500 chip bets on banker. A moves to another table to place his bet.

The thief can take his 500 chip away, no one will notice. Even if A turns back to check his chips, he would thought others 500 chip is his.

Nothing will happen if the results comes out player cos all bets lost. But if win, then disputes will arise whose chip is whose and cctv recording will playback.
