After three days in RWS, he emerged with a staggering $4.6 million in winnings.
Either lady luck is smiling on him or this could be a case of rigging, possibly collusion with RWS staff.

Zhang was fined $20,000 for the crime. He could have been fined up to $50,000 or jailed for up to three years.
But Deputy Public Prosecutor Hon Yi told the court that RWS casino employees had reminded Zhang to heed the regulations on the movement of the currency.

In imposing the find, Disrict Judge Lee Poh Choo noted that such currency restrictions are common in many countries and Zhang had to be aware of these regulations.

Zhang paid the fine yesterday and the money siezed from him was ordered to be returned.
