The follow link will bring you directly to a press release of the United States Attorney's Office, Central District of California.

It is in reference to The Bicycle Casino, which is a huge casino property in the Los Angeles area offering baccarat. 

The Bicycle Casini admitted that a "high roller" Chinese national gambled at the casino approximately 100 times over an eight-month period in 2016, playing high-limit baccarat in a VIP room with huge sums of cash that on some occasions he transported to and from the casino in duffle bags.

Played well over 36,311 shoes of baccarat since I started playing at B&M USA casinos.

THE PURPOSE OF GAMING IS TO WIN!

"Don't say it's a winning hand until you are getting paid for it".

Played numerous properties in Las Vegas, Reno, Southern California, Atlantic City, Connecticut, South Florida, The South/Southeast as well as most areas of The Midwest.

Baccarat, actually a mixture of Watergate, attacking the Gotti Family and the famous ear biting Tyson fight leading to disqualification and a near riot.  Bac has all that & more.

Good read.
This reminds me of a story.

One of my casinos does not open first Bac table until noonish. So I often play an ETG (Roulette) for 30mins or so) waiting for them to open the Bac table. These are by Interbloc or Evolution I believe and usually have 6 or 8 seats surrounding the video screen.

Several days in a row (or several days per week) I noticed a Vietnamese duo (One 70ish/ other 30ish) came in every day with an old brown leather rustic Harley Davidson saddle bags. The dual bags had alot of wear and actually looked like great antiques.

They would be full of $10 bills and they sat next to each other at the ETG Roulette machines and immediately started inserting bills(nonstop for 30-45mins or until I departed). I assumed they were betting against each other as they didn't seem to care what outcome showed.
I had heard from others they owned an Asian restaurant. So I just assumed maybe they had a $9 buffet and maybe that was why they had these bags of $10 bills,...etc and I didn't think much about it.

*A few months later they were charged with money laundering et al charges and the cash was actually from an illegal cannabis business. The story I heard was they had one legal cannabis business but also had several illegal ones. So they were running all the cash through the casino.


I haven't seen either in several years. Other players have told me we would not be seeing them for at least five years.
