And there will be staff watching at all times until they are sure that it is not an official. Inside, there are more than 20 computers for online gambling. In the middle of the room are 2 fish shooting machines. Players must pay the staff to add money to the system. When they arrested yesterday, they found about 30 gamblers happily gambling. When the officers thoroughly inspecte d the casino, they found a secret passage for gamblers to escape through the side of the building. They also found that each tablet that was used to control online gambling had a button that said, 'Police, press here.' In case any officers came to inspect, pressing this button would immediately shut down all online gambling systems. In addition, in the casino dealer's room, they found a picture of a police officer wearing a safari suit with his ID card hanging. Therefore, they contacted the Royal Thai Police to check if he was a real police officer.
