Casino cheat fined S$1,500 for cashing credits of another patron





SINGAPORE : A casino cheat was fined S$1,500 in court Wednesday morning for cashing out credits that did not belong to her from a game machine.

The incident happened in February at the casino at Resorts World Sentosa.

46—year—old Alice Lau was playing the Russian roulette machine beside another male patron, who left without cashing out the credits.

Lau then took the opportunity to cash out the credits worth $S630.

Shortly after, the man, who forgot about his winnings, informed the casino management which then proceeded to trace Lau and stopped her in the casino.

The money was later returned to the man. — CNA/jy

I really think that it's ridiculous, using law and punishments to teach moral values, it's the man's mistake for not cashing out, should just consider it a luck for lau or rather dishonest of lau. There isnt any need of punishment of this petty thing, like as if in any other circumstances law and punishments could help 'gain' back a misplaced item, just like my hps
