My client found a job in a mahjong parlor through an acquaintance, 300 a day, but I didn't expect to be arrested in less than a month on suspicion of opening a casino. Some people are convicted of opening casinos, and some people have nothing to do, what is going on? Today, lawyer Le Shengqun will share with you several key points of the crime of opening a casino, and you will understand. 1. Collecting table fees and box fees for making a profit is a normal income and generally does not constitute a crime. However, the owner of the mahjong parlor or chess and card room organizes more than three people to gamble, and there is a behavior of taking profits, and the amount reaches more than 5,000 yuan or the total gambling money is more than 50,000 yuan or the total number of gambling participants is more than 20 people, and the main factor affecting the conviction and sentencing is not the simple cumulative amount of gambling funds or the amount of profit, but the identity, role and participation in the opening of the casino, such as whether the boss is still watching the game or issuing cards and pumping or watching the wind, because opening a casino is an accomplice case. The determination of the identity of the principal and subordinate parties of the parties is to determine the sentencing.

According to Article 7 of the "Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Handling Cases of Using Gambling Machines to Open Casinos" jointly issued by the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security, it is stipulated that in handling cases of using gambling machines to open casinos, the criminal policy of blending leniency and severity shall be implemented, and the focus shall be on cracking down on the funders and operators of casinos. Persons who are hired to engage in activities such as picking up and dropping off gambling participants, watching the wind, dealing cards and sitting in the bank, exchanging chips, etc., are generally not investigated for criminal responsibility, except for those who participate in the profit sharing of casinos or receive high fixed wages, and may be punished by the public security organs in accordance with the law. In other words, if you do not participate in profit sharing or receive a high fixed salary, you are generally not criminally liable. However, if you participate in the profit sharing, or receive a high remuneration, or provide important assistance to the operation of the casino, you will be punished as an accomplice and will be subject to criminal liability. Lawyer Le once again reminds everyone that when looking for a job, do not go to some pornographic entertainment venues, fraudulent companies and gambling establishments, and accidentally become an accomplice to a crime, and the gains outweigh the losses.
