SINGAPORE: A second person has been hauled to court in successive weeks for cheating at the casino.

Assistant accountant Alice Lau Qian Xiu was charged on Wednesday with trying to claim S$630 from Resorts World Sentosa's casino cashiers by using a "cashout ticket" - issued when punters wish to stop at the electronic jackpots - belonging to another gambler on February 16.

Lau is out on S$5,000 bail and will be back in court on March 31. If convicted, she faces up to two years in jail and/or a fine of up to S$10,000.

Last week, cabby Loo Siew Wan, 53, became the first person charged with alleged offences committed in the casino.

He is accused of trying to hoodwink a croupier at the baccarat table by placing two S$100 chips on the "Banker" option after the result of the game was declared.

Loo, who was under an exclusion order, faces charges of attempting to cheat by impersonation (he used his brother's driving licence), theft and giving false information to the police.

His case will be mentioned on March 9.
