HE CAME ready to gamble and was equipped with an identification card. There was only one problem - the card belonged to his wife.
The 44-year-old man was arrested after security officers at the Resorts World Sentosa casino smelled a rat.
Yesterday, police said they will take action against anyone who tries to sneak into a casino using a false identity card or allows his card to be misused.
The man is also said to have breached an exclusion order issued by the National Council on Problem Gambling.
All public assistance recipients and bankrupts are automatically barred from entering the casino.
Family members can also apply for exclusion orders to keep their loved ones from entering the casino.
The man was detained by the security officers after trying to enter the casino on Dec 27 last year. He was handed over to the police and placed under arrest.
