How much does that have to do with 10 irresponsible players and a moronic gambling den and restaurant owner who is breaking the law? I am sure they can both handle and book the money they found too. Why the need to look down on people when they do a good job?

Seems like they in the Wong place

No, those were lurking in a shady beer bar, scandalously spreading all manner of diseases with a surreptitious game of Connect Four.

With those stairs it is really good that they never found the "Bridge players" who were on zimmer frames ! Wonderful how they treat one nation against another !

And yes, when the virus scare is over this figure could be thousands of gamblers in "official" casinos. Perhaps the Chinese owner was in the process of trying to get his first foot on the ladder!

This is tradition Chinese restaurant, usually it is in the basement, guess the police don't like the Chinese infringing on their own gambling dens!

The police don't like those that don't pay to operate.
