In a Singaporean court, a Malaysian man has admitted to being involved in a fraud syndicate that cheated Marina Bay Sands Resort of SGD 43,373,0 (approximately $315,000). This syndicate appears to have devised a secret strategy for winning at baccarat and used covert mobile devices to transmit card values to their associates.

Members of the syndicate involved in the attack on Marina Bay Sands included 35-year-old Chen Jianyi. They used mobile phones to send images of playing card values to their associates. A female member involved in the operation, referred to as the wizard,would wear a covert earpiece connected to a smartphone while playing baccarat at 7-Point. She would then transmit card information to Chen Jianyi and other shooters who used Excel spreadsheets to provide her with betting strategy advice.

While the exact nature of this method is not disclosed in court records, the formulas contained in the spreadsheet appeared to provide an advantage to the participants. Two other members of the syndicate, 46-year-old Malaysian Chai Hee Keong and 27-year-old Taiwanese Hong Ronghao, have also been charged in connection with this incident. It's unclear what has happened to three other individuals suspected of joining the syndicate: Wang Yu, Hong Yuwen, and Zhou Yulun.

Suspicious activities of the syndicate were recorded by surveillance cameras, leading to the arrest of Hong Ronghao on December 24, 2022. His accomplices who fled to Malaysia were apprehended and deported back to Singapore. They left behind SGD 790,000 worth of casino chips in their hotel room at Marina Bay Sands.

Chen Jianyi told investigators that he met Wang Yu and Hong Yuwen at a casino in the Philippines in August 2022. Subsequently, Hong Yuwen claimed to have a strategy to help them win at baccarat, but Chen Jianyi stated that he only knew this strategy was created by Kelvin.

According to Chen Jianyi's lawyer, there is no evidence of fraud or cheating, so it is not possible to determine whether the formula has any effect on odds other than those expected by the gaming house outside of the odds set by the casino. Under the Casino Control Act, players using devices to calculate or record card values in casino games may face a maximum of seven years in prison, a maximum fine of SGD 150,000, or both.

It's still better not to cheat; this kind of cheating can lead to imprisonment.

Cheating should never be condoned, regardless of the location.
