When did the underground casino incident in Dongguan happen?

65438+On February 30th, 2009, Guangdong police dispatched 14 armored vehicles and more than 500 police officers to raid Xindongtai Casino on Zhongxing Avenue in Dongkeng Town, Dongguan, which is known as the largest underground casino in Dongguan. Casino gamblers include people from Southeast Asia and Europe. 12 night, Dongguan Public Security Bureau announced that four persons responsible for the Dongkeng gambling case had been dismissed. These four people are: the director and deputy director of Dongkeng Branch of Dongguan Public Security Bureau, the director of public security bureau and the director of Wu Peng police station.

Residents near Zhongxing Avenue in Dongkeng Town were awakened by the rapid sirens. 14 armored vehicles full of special police officers lined up neatly, and two or three buses carrying police officers slowly entered the blockade. "The whole scene is like a Hong Kong gangster movie."

500 policemen went straight to Xindongtai Casino, the largest and most luxurious underground casino in the Mainland. Subsequently, nearly 100 gamblers were invited to the yellow school bus prepared in advance, and various gambling tools such as "Baccarat" were also seized one by one. It was not until around 10 in the morning that the special police officers were replaced by local security personnel to handle related follow-up work.

Every day, 200-300 people gamble on the cash in the vault, and at least 200-300 million people gamble in one night. According to the investigation, the hiding place of Xindongtai Casino is the hotel staff dormitory. According to the owner of a thrift store who used to gamble in the casino, the casino is luxuriously decorated, the chips are changed on the left side of the entrance, there are rows of oval tables in the middle, and there is an exquisite kitchen on the side for gamblers to eat. There is a VIP room for big gamblers on the second floor.

These oval tables have different grades. Some tables can bet up to 500 thousand, while others can bet millions. Only the VIP room can be exempted from these gambling restrictions. Casinos have been in business for several years, and almost every day, two or three hundred gamblers from the Pearl River Delta and even Southeast Asia come to participate in gambling. It is common to play hundreds of thousands of millions of cards at a time, and it takes at least 20 million or 30 million to change chips overnight.

There is a huge vault in the New Dongtai Entertainment Plaza. Once the cash flow of the casino exceeds a certain amount, it will be transferred to the vault, which is why there is no money in the police raid. Casinos only bet on baccarat. Baccarat is a digital gambling game, which is close to 9 o'clock to judge whether you win or lose. Because the rules of the game are quite simple, basically you can play as long as you watch it. The owner of Xindongtai Casino is closely related to Hong Kong Sinian, and its management is completely in accordance with the specifications of Hong Kong and Macao casinos. Certified Dutch officials come from Macao and receive professional training.

The reason why the casino has been in business for many years:

The casino staff said: "The main reason is that the background is tough and the police dare not check." Sometimes the traffic police check cars nearby, and the casino thinks this will affect the casino business. Just send a security guard to order the traffic police to check the car elsewhere. In addition, sometimes when the police come to arrest people nearby, they have to say hello in advance, otherwise they can't even get in the door.

According to the owner of a factory near the casino, the casino owner has a large number of friends at both provincial and municipal levels. His son got married on New Year's Day in 2009. The wedding reception is divided into four days. Beijing people are invited on the first day, Guangzhou people on the second day, Dongguan people on the third day and Dongkeng people on the fourth day. It's so beautiful that Dongguan people once thought that the casino owner was a "tumbler".
