Nineteen Crown Resorts’ employees were sentenced 9 to 10 months in prison, after pleading guilty to charges of illegal promotional casino activities in China, trying to attract Mainland China players in the Australian casino.
The nineteen defendants, among who three Australians, were accused of gambling promotional activities in China. All of them pleaded guilty and were jailed for 9 or 10 months, including a fine, which will be paid by the Crown Resorts, estimated to be 8.62m yuan ($1.3 million). The wrongdoers were organizing “gambling trips” abroad for 10 or more people, with the clear idea to attract high rollers to their casino.
