Four hours later, he was up to the same tricks at the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) casino. This time he was nabbed and on Thursday, Aminijam Amin, 30, was jailed for a week.
A district court heard that the Iranian was at RWS when he noticed a player placing a $100 chip on the number 36 on the roulette table. When the player went to another table to check on his wager there, Amin moved the chip to another bet on 'Red' instead. It won and Amin pocketed the $200 in chips and left the casino soon after.
