It’s Chinese New Year and celebrations will be taking place all around the world. While the people of Las Vegas don’t really need an excuse to party, they still welcome one, so the Chinese New Year in Nevada is sure to be a big one!

However, some Las Vegas residents will be focusing on the holiday for different reasons. Casino managers and attendants will be scouring the tables looking for a group of baccarat cheats that are believed to have won more than $1 million (£620,000) at various casinos last month.

The players have been using a miniature camera tucked in to their sleeve to record the value and suit of each card when cutting the deck. This provides them with crucial information on which hand to bet on.

The Cosmopolitan is just one of the casinos that has been stung by this scam but despite these negative experiences they and other casinos will be offering baccarat players extra special services during the holiday period.
