Six people were referred to prosecutors over alleged blackjack fraud against Chinese tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

South Korea.- Jeju\u2019s provincial government could suspend a casino for three months over an alleged card-marking fraud<\/strong> against Chinese tourists. The province sent the casino a notice of the proposed administrative penalty at the end of September and received the casino\u2019s written opinion last week. A decision has not yet been made, but one official reportedly said the penalty will be issued soon unless motives for a reduced sanction are recognised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeju police referred six people to prosecutors on fraud charges on September 11: the casino\u2019s representative and five employees, including dealers. Police also referred the casino\u2019s operating company, citing its failure to exercise due care and supervision under the dual liability provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspects are alleged to have run blackjack games for three Chinese tourists using marked cards<\/strong> in June. Police put the criminal proceeds at more than KRW100m (US$64,600). The case came to light when Jeju\u2019s casino operations management system showed higher-than-usual profit at a blackjack table. Provincial inspectors obtained cards suspected of being marked and CCTV footage showing signs of game manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n
