The casino operator immediately alerted the police and the counterfeit chips were seized.
Through intensive investigations, the police managed to ascertain the identity of the suspect who was responsible for acquiring the chips.
The suspect will be charged in court for the offence of using counterfeit chips under the Casino Control Act.
If convicted, the suspect faces a jail term of up to seven years or a fine not exceeding S$150,000, or both.
