casino security scam

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

An interesting scam….

Cheats put fake chips with a hidden camera on a table.

Next to them they
put a cigarette pack with a signal booster.

A signal is passed to a
monitor of an accessory who is sitting in a car with tinted glass not
far from the casino. The accessory relays information and the player
hears it in an earphone and he knows what cards the dealer has.

The point is that the camera is located at the level of the table and it
shoots cards during dealing.

 

Casinos come back to Ukraine?

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Although most of us know that many of the casinos never actually closed (particularly in the regions distant from Kiev) the current legislation means that at the moment all gambling is banned.

This may change soon however, with a draft bill under consideration that would allow casinos in 5 star hotels (of 60+ rooms) and in specially designated zones. These are the same zones that were promised over a year ago - remember?

The license fee per casino will be a $5 million payable per quarter over 7 years so around $60,000 per month. No other fees or taxes will be paid (officially anyway - lol)
Quite whether anyone will decide to open new casinos on the back of this is anyone’s guess but the existing closed casinos that fit the criteria will certainly stand to make a bucket load of cash.
