A croupier and a gambler who hatched a plot to cheat Resorts World Sentosa in games of roulette have been jailed for one year and nine months each by a district court in Singapore

The scam happened last year when casino employee Ng Wuey Kiang, 24, was coached to throw the ball so that it ended up within the 20 numbers grouped on one side of the roulette wheel.

He and Leong Teck Leong carried out their cheating over five days from 2nd October to 9th October, until their ruse was discovered via closed-circuit TV footage.

Leong bet a total of 88 times. As Ng was unable to control the roulette ball, it landed on the wrong side of the wheel 48 times. To cover these losses, he would overpay Leong when he won.

Ng, a Malaysian, and Leong, 39, a Singaporean, admitted criminal breach of trust and cheating.

They each pleaded guilty to eight charges, with 88 charges taken into consideration in each case.
