    Singapore -3 foreigners caught for allegedly cheating at RWS casino

    SINGAPORE : Three foreigners were caught for allegedly cheating at the casino at Resorts World Sentosa on Saturday.

    Two of them are French nationals, while a third is from Spain.

    The three, aged between 46 and 64, are alleged to have entered the casino on several occasions.

    Police said they were caught for committing past-posting at the roulette table on at least three occasions.

    Past-posting is the act of placing the bet after the result is known.

    On Friday and Saturday, they were paid winnings of S$13,400 by the dealers.

    However, their acts were detected by casino surveillance and they were detained on Saturday at about 1.30pm by casino security officers, who referred them to the police.

    The three are in Singapore on Social Visit Passes.

    The three men will be charged in court on Monday with cheating.

    If convicted, they face jail of up to 10 years as well as a fine. - CNA/ms

    I wonder if they knew that by cheating they risked 10 years in a Singapore jail........ Not a gamble I would want to take!

    Top hatting it's called in the UK, basically you sit at the roulette table and nick a coloured chip off some old granny at the table, then when the ball drops you quickly put a cash chip on the number that has dropped with the granny's chip on top of that and your own coloured chip on the very top, the dealer will have seen your late bet and take off your coloured chip, leaving the granny's chip on top and your cash chip underneath.

    Maybe they thought Singapore would be a soft touch as the casino has only just opened.

    Little did they know that BBC Entertainment has been showing 'The Real Hustle' over here

    I imagine that these guys will have the book thrown at them as an example to others in true Singapore style.

    The crappiest thing about the casino is that citizens and PRs such as myself have to pay S$100 just to get in.

    Apparently you have to show your passport at the door.

    They also have a list of people not allowed in at all, some of which are problem gamblers who are banned at their own, or their family's request.
