Casino bookmaker jailed
AN INDONESIAN man was jailed for two weeks and fined $20,000 on Friday for acting as a bookmaker at Resorts World Sentosa casino. Salesman Tjong Loi Sin, 29, admitted committing the offence at the RWS casino Maxims Club on June 11. The court heard that he arrived here on June 7 to check his job application as a dealer at Marina Bay Sands Casino. He went to RWS casino and lost $1,000 gambling. Through an acquaintance, he was recommended to work for a man known as Asun to offer private insurance bets similar to the rules stipulated by the casino to patrons at Maxims Club. Tjong, who would be paid $60 a day, offered private insurance bets to various patrons from June 8 until his arrest by the casino security three days later. He could have been fined up to $200,000 and jailed for up to five years for acting as a bookmaker.
