Interesting, why Tourist Police?? Foreigners running the gambling site????

I'm guessing Chinese-backed if tourist police.

 

The only winners in gambling setups are the ones running them, those who get paid to turn a blind eye, the money launderers needing somewhere to wash dirty money (physical gambling setups and often paying several people to wash the cash for them) and very occassional professional gamblers who can card count, etc (who often need to move around as they get barred). 

The rest are mugs who overwhelmingly lose everything they punt.
