Macau.- Judiciary Police have arrested three men suspected of livestreaming casino games from a Cotai casino and placing bets on behalf of clients located off-site. The suspects are a 43-year-old Macau resident and two mainland Chinese men aged 29 and 37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police, the group used customised clothing to conceal smartphones, which were used to livestream casino tables. The two mainland Chinese suspects allegedly used micro Bluetooth earpieces to receive instructions and place bets remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police reportedly seized several smartphones, micro earpieces and other equipment, along with approximately HK$220,000 (US$28,000) in cash and casino chips. The case has been referred to the Public Prosecutions Office for further investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n
