Saudi police have raided an illegal gambling den, which was electronically linked to a casino in Taiwan, reported the BBC.online, citing local media.  

The daily Arab News quoted a police official as saying that three Indians had been arrested this week in a raid on an illegal gambling club, adding that their flat had been equipped with computers and faxes.  

The newspaper said Saudi residents were able to place bets by buying digital cards costing up to nearly 3,000 dollars.  

Their cash prizes were then determined in Taipei and ran to as high as a quarter of a million dollars – Albawaba.com
