Iranian jailed for stealing chips at IRs
AN IRANIAN stole chips amounting to $200 in value from a roulette table at Resorts World Sentosa just before noon last Tuesday.
Four hours later, he was up to his old tricks at the Marina Bay Sands casino. But this time, Aminijam Amin, 30, was nabbed. He was sentenced to jail yesterday for a week.
A district court heard that the Iranian was at the Sentosa casino when he noticed a player placing a $100 chip on number 36 at 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.
At about 4pm, he was in the Marina Bay Sands casino. When a $100 bet placed by another player on the colour "Black" won, he took the bet as well as the winnings.
The player who had gone to the next table soon returned, and complained about his missing chips to casino staff.
Amin was detained and $200 worth of chips were found on him. He admitted to the thefts and was charged in court.
A third charge of stealing a $100 chip from another player in the Sentosa casino was taken into consideration by the judge in sentencing.
