While at the Tropicana casino in Atlantic City, some are fighting with knives, the players at the Kings Romans casino in Laos have used firearms. Three people died in the incident and a fourth was shot dead by police.
According to some reports, the Laotian police were called to the casino after a meeting of several Chinese took place in the establishment. The three entered the casino with a suitcase containing approximately $143,000. There is a version that they wanted to return the gambling debt.
However, during the meeting, the debtors had a conflict with the intended recipients of the money. The debtors left the casino with the money, but they were pursued and eventually killed. One of the gunmen was shot dead by the police.
But there is another version. Some believe that there was a robbery not far from the casino. The robbers killed the residents of the rented house and had already left the scene of the crime when the police overtook them. As a result, the husband was shot, and the wife managed to escape with the money.
Some believe that the casino itself belongs to the criminal. The establishment is owned by Zhao Wei, a Chinese man accused by the United States of being a major transnational criminal organization. She deals in drugs, rare wild animals and people.
