Malaysian jailed for theft, cheating casino (Singapore Casino related Crimes)

Straits Times dated 6 April 2011, Wed

A MALAYSIAN gambler lost all his money and later used a $100 chip belonging to another patron for his own gain.

Yesterday , Goh Wing Wal , 30, was sentenced to a month in jail for theft and cheating the Marina Bay Sands casino last month.

A district court heard yesterday that the salesman came here as a tourist and visited the casino at 10am on March 12.

It was not known how much money he had with him but, by 2pm, he had lost it all.

About 20 minutes later, he saw Mr How Yew Hock placing a bet, using a $100 chip, on the Sic Bo table. Sic Bo is a game of three dice.

When Mr How went over to the next table to observe the action, Goh moved the chip from Mr How's bet on 'Big' to the number 'Four'. When two dice turned up with that number, Goh won $200 and left the table $300 richer.

After Mr How noticed that his chip had gone missing, he informed the croupier and the closed-circuit television footage revealed the identity of the culprit.

Goh, who was still in the casino, was handed over to the police. There was no money on him. He had lost it all.

He was jailed two weeks for theft and a month for duping the casino into paying him for the wager with the stolen chip.

District Judge Roy Neighbour ordered that the jail terms be run concurrently, so the total sentence is a month.

The maximum penalty for theft is a $10,000 fine and a three-year jail term while that for cheating is a $10,000 fine and a 10-year jail term.
