Taiwan.- Police in Tainan have dismantled an illegal casino that specialised in Chinese dominos, or pai gow. During the raid, officers arrested the alleged operator, three security personnel and 19 gamblers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police say the operation used private residences and changed location every three days to avoid police attention. Gamblers were discreetly contacted and informed of a meeting point from which a vehicle would transport them to the undisclosed location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acting on a tip-off, Tainan police gathered evidence and obtained a search warrant for the casino’s location on Jinhua Road. Police seized a set of 32 Chinese dominos, a box of dice, a monitor, account books and NT$80,000 (US$2,460) in cash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
