S.African businessman gets 7 months' jail for cheating at RWS casino
A 33-year-old South African businessman has been sentenced to seven months' jail for cheating at the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) casino.
Sibongile Arthur Mgxashe had committed the offences at two different roulette tables on different days.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Gay Hui Yi told District Judge Thian Yee Sze that he first entered the casino at around 10:41pm on May 20 this year.
Mgxashe went to one of the roulette tables and placed his bet after the winning result was declared.
As a result, he received cash chips amounting to S$7,000.
Mgxashe received another S$7,000 in cash chips the next day by using a similar method to cheat at another roulette table.
However, he was soon detained by security as he was walking out of the casino.
Mgxashe originally faces six charges in total but four of them were taken into consideration.
He could have been sentenced to a maximum of 10 years' jail and fined for each cheating charge.
