Resort World's first casino cheat gets 10 months' jail
SINGAPORE : A Chinese national has become the first person to be convicted here for attempting to cheat the casino at Resorts World at Sentosa (RWS).
Hou Yongwei was sentenced to 10 months' jail for sneaking in a S$600 bet - in order to deceive a dealer into paying him S$6,000 - after the results had been declared.
The 26 year-old had attempted to commit the past-posting offence on March 28 at a game called "Tai Sai" in which punters bet on the value of three dices rolled in a covered tumbler.
The court heard that Hou tried to place his chips after the dealer had lifted the cover of the tumbler and declared the winning bet to be triple-4s, but was caught in the act.
He was reported to the security manager of the casino, who viewed the closed-circuit television footage and confirmed Hou's offence.
During sentencing, District Judge Ronald Gwee said a strong message must be sent out to all potential casino cheats that they would face substantial sentences if they were convicted.
Hou could have been jailed up to five years and fined.
Meanwhile, a cashier at the Resorts World casino was charged with a theft of S$10,000 from the casino.
Lim Ee Wah allegedly stole the cash while she was on duty on April 6. She told a district court that she intended to plead guilty and would make restitution.
Lim will return to court on May 10. If convicted, she faces up to seven years behind bars and a fine.

Cabby admits cheating casino
A CABBY became the first Singaporean to plead guilty on Friday to cheating and attempted cheating at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).
As an undischarged bankrupt, Loo Siew Wan is banned from entering or gambling in casinos here.
The 53-year-old posed as his elder brother, Mr Loh Siow Kok, to get in by using the 55-year-old's driving licence and paying an entry levy of $100 on Feb 21. The next day while playing at a baccarat table, he tried to cheat by placing a bet of two $100 chips on 'banker' after the winning result was declared as 'banker'.
But his past-posting act was seen by a fellow gamer who immediately raised an alert. Having been exposed, Loo quickly took back his chips and walked away from the table. The dealer informed his pit supervisor. A CCTV footage confirmed his dishonest act.
When a police officer came at about 1.20am, Loo gave false information by producing his brother's driving licence when asked about his identity.
Four other charges were taken into consideration. Loo has convictions for firearm possession in 1989 and gambling in 2000. Chief District Judge Tan Siong Thye will sentence Loo next Friday.

M'sian man stole casino chips
A MALAYSIAN man who stole five chips amounting to $200 from a woman at Resorts World Sentosa casino last week was fined $2,000 on Monday.
Ahmad Sharifuddin A. Shukor, 57, pleaded guilty to stealing the chips from Madam Lye Sam Moi, 57, at a baccarat table on June 10.
The court heard that Madam Lye was gambling with two others at the casino when she told her friend, Madam Zhao Fengzhi, 49, to look after a stack of chips at the edge of the baccarat table. She then went to another table to gamble.
Ahmad came along and told Madam Zhao, a Chinese national, that the stack of chips on the table was left by his friend. But Madam Zhao insisted that the stack belonged to her friend and pulled the chips nearer to her.
After a few games, Madam Zhao turned her head when her friend called her and when she turned back, the chips were gone. She called Madam Lye, who returned to the table and complained to the dealer.
CCTV footage showed Ahmad taking the victim's chips. After cashing out his chips and the victim's, he left and went to Marina Bay Sands casino to gamble and lost all his money there. He could have been jailed for up to three years and fined.
