Resorts World Sentosa casino , 初一,开赌!

[Watchman]

Look that that childish looking middle-age man bending over .
What a dickweed !

I mean; don't Singaporeans have any pride left in them anymore .
Imagine the audacity of paying money to have enforcement officers regulating you and gesticulating like you are some half-wit getting handouts and receiving refugee assistance .

Gosh it's unbelievable .

8 face casino-linked offences
By Elena Chong

EIGHT people have landed in trouble within the first three days of the Resorts World Sentosa casino opening.
Two Mongolians were arrested on Monday at the casino entrance at Resorts World Sentosa for cheating by impersonation.
The pair, aged 45 and 18, are released on police bail and investigations are ongoing. The younger Mongolian, who is studying in a private school here, had allegedly used the passport of the 45-year-old's son to enter the casino as he is underage.
Meanwhile, five others, including Singaporeans and permanent residents, have been caught for trying to sneak into the casino without paying the $100 levy on Sunday - the first day the casino was opened to the public.
The day levy is $100 and the annual fee is $2,000.
Separately, an Indonesian gambler who claimed he lost all his money at the RWS casino, stole a mobile phone from an undergraduate at Changi Airport. Paulus Djohar, 49, unemployed, was jailed for four weeks on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to the charge.

crime already gone up because of casino.

it will get worse.

those ah neh if they lose all their money, and their family call them to send money, what will they do?
they might rob sinkies because they lost all money to a casino in singapore

 

[hillary888]

If the authority has imposed a $100 entry fee for Singaporeans and permanent residents to act as a deterrence to gambling shouldn't they impose a levy on work permit holders too?

THE first man to be investigated by the Casino Crime Investigation Branch for casino-related crimes was brought to court on Wednesday.

Loo Siew Nan, 53, is accused of five offences of attempted cheating, cheating by personation, theft and giving false information to the police.
He allegedly tried to cheat a casino dealer at Resorts World Sentosa Casino's baccarat table by placing a bet of two $100 chips on the 'banker' after the result of the game had been declared.
He allegedly did this on Monday with the intention of deceiving the dealer into believing that he had a winning bet and tried to induce the dealer to give him a payout of chips worth $190.
He had allegedly earlier gained entry into the casino by posing as one Loh Siow Kok - who is his brother - by producing the latter's Singapore driving licence.
He is also charged with giving false information to a senior station inspector by giving him an original driving licence bearing Loh's name when asked for his identity at about 2.10am on Tuesday. He is said to have stolen Mr Loh's driving licence at a coffeeshop along Bedok Reservoir Road at about 6.30pm on Sunday, and four hours later, posed as Mr Loh to get into the casino.
The prosecution asked for a two-week adjournment to complete investigation. Bail of $15,000 was offered. Loo's next appearance is on March 9.

Familiar Singaporean behaviour seen at Resorts World Sentosa

From 'chope'-ing seats to shouting out loud, Singaporeans aren't afraid to be themselves in Singapore's latest attraction.

'Chope' - that's my seat

Seats are at a premium in the over-crowded casino, and some middle-aged female patrons have been spotted leaving packets of tissue paper on the tables to 'chope' - or reserve - their seats. Others who need a toilet break get friends to fend off other patrons keen to take their seat.

Shout out loud - HUAT AH!

Punters can be a loud and animated bunch.
Shouts of 'huat, ah!' ('prosperity') are frequently heard throughout the hall.
'Picture, picture!' is another oft-heard phrase at the poker and baccarat tables. It refers to the king, queen and jack cards in a poker deck.
In fact, the more crowded and loud an activity is, the better, it seems. The tables with the most 'action' draw the biggest crowds.
Some players joke loudly with dealers as if they are old friends.
'Why get so worked up? They think if they shout louder, they will win? If that's the case, the casino would have closed down a long time ago,' said retiree Tan Thiam Chye, 70, who was observing them.

Make yourself at home

Spotted at the casino: people taking off their shoes and sandals as they parked themselves at the jackpot machines. Others slept on the sofas in the rest corners for precious shut-eye time before waking up refreshed for yet another round at the machines.

i being to las vegas twice, but i never heard any chinese shout huat ah over there. why sinkies casino so low class leh?

 

[balajii]

i no $ to go casino.

[balajii]

its true that in US casinos, not much ppl shout. but i don't have an issue with shouting. it makes the game more fun. neither will it cheapen the casino like u suggested.

the only thing that cheapen RWS is the smelly FTs and the PRC chickens.

agree with you.

hate to pay 100 and still need to squeeze with smelly bangala.

even worse is many will think i am one of them

ooi, i spore indian ok.:oIo: bangala.

ooi, i spore indian ok.:oIo: bangala.

Then you should go Orchids Room or level 2. No more smelly bangala, indian and PRC. No requirement for Orchids room, as long as you are a Singapore/PR. For VIP room at level 2, you need to be a silver card member and above. No FTs but some weird ppl in there

RWS accept Genting and star cruise member cards. Just go the the counter (near to the stage) to encode your Genting card to RWS card. I did it with my starcruise member card.
Don't how RWS justify the rank of their card members. But one thing for sure, the bigger you bet, the faster you become a silver, gold or even platinum card member.

Second casino fraud case
By Khushwant Singh

THE second person taken to court on Wednesday for a casino-related offence at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) was accused of claiming $630 belonging to another gambler.
Alice Lau Qian Xiu, 46, an assistant accountant, is alleged to have misappropriated a 'cashout ticket' bearing that amount in credit from 32-year-old sales executive Soh Wee Chen. (correct)
Lau, who is out on $5,000 bail, is said to have committed the offence at about 11pm on Feb 16 - two days after the casino opened on Chinese New Year. She will appear in court again on March 31. If convicted, she could be jailed up to two years and/or fined up to $10,000.
Her case comes a week after taxi driver Loo Siew Wan was charged with allegedly trying to cheat the casino on Feb 22. The 53-year-old had a placed a bet of two $100 chips on the 'banker' after the result of the game had been declared. He hoped to fool the dealer into believing that he had a winning bet.
The cabby, who is prohibited from entering the casino under an exclusion order, is also accused of stealing his elder brother's Singapore driving licence on Feb 21 and impersonating his brother to get in to gamble the next day.
Meanwhile, two Mongolians are out on police bail for cheating by impersonation, and investigation into five people for trying to sneak into the casino on opening day without each paying the $100 levy is ongoing.

sorry let me rephrase.

when you pay $100 for the levy, goes RWS credit your genting card (or whatever card) with points. sort of their way of compensating you back for the levy spent.

erm. like this can?

thanks

if u asking if they will compensate u with points/perks for the levy u paid?
it will be good but as far as it goes, currently not in sight unless LVS opens then we can have some competiton but subject to approval i guess?

we paid cold hard cash at the counter with our IC for the casino levy, got the receipt and just scan IC and wallk thru the gantry

ur membership card will earn u pts when u play on the table but definitely a challenge to find a seat when its so crowded :p

jackpot is not so occupied now, u might earn some pts giving it some spins but the money will be suck dry faster than u think.

so far the points is exchangable for food/parking, something in the range of 3-4 bucks with 2-3 RWS points, 2RWS points for parking.

i guess its just perks not something everyone interested in actually

Tickets will go on sale from March 10 at 9am. The tickets can be purchased at the ticket booths outside Universal Studios, through online booking or phone booking. Tickets must be purchased at least a day in advance.

Tickets start at $66 for a one-day pass for adults on off-peak weekday periods and $72 for a one-day peak period pass.

An unlimited entry annual pass with no black-out dates will cost $1,098 for adults and $828 for children.
