The six that left the casino made their way through border control and discarded the chips on the way. Police later found 112 counterfeit chips at a local waste center. These had a face value of HK$10,000 each.
According to the police, the syndicate used around 493 chips at the casino. These each had a face value of KHK$10,000. The syndicate is believed to have won over HK$700,000 ($89,283/€82,253) at the tables.
