MBS "sell fish"?
Posted by QR on Saturday, November 5, 2011
SINGAPORE: Hawker Choo Hong Eng said she gave her first statement to the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) on Tuesday, in her dispute with Marina Bay Sands (MBS) over her jackpot winnings.
58-year-old Madam Choo said she felt confident about her chances of winning the case, especially with the support of CCTV footage and at least four witnesses not related to her.
Madam Choo had won S$416,000 on a jackpot machine at MBS last month, but the casino said the machine had malfunctioned. It offered her a sports car worth S$258,962 and S$50,000 in cash instead. But Madam Choo refused the offer.
Her lawyer, Mr Choo Si Sen, said the casino must pay the full amount of S$416,000 within 15 days if the CRA's verdict is in her favour.
If either party is dissatisfied with the verdict, they can appeal to the Patron Dispute Committee.
Mdm Choo said: "The CRA officer asked me: 'Did you see the words CASH and CAR appear on the screen?' I said the only words were CASH BONUS. The word CAR didn't come up at all. Car is spelt C-A-R, and cash is C-A-S-H. The difference between four and three letters is obvious."

Does this mean that the casino is afraid to lose $416,000? Or is it that they want to take advantage of an old lady.Even newspaper listed all the example, and all winners are casino. This defiantly will cause the casino standard to drop. Once that is so "high-classed" now dropped to "middle-class". Will the people going there to "give" them free money come again? Or will they still have the trust there?
