Need to eliminate disguised gambling

(Baonghean.vn)Recently, in the city, especially in front of the gates of universities, colleges, markets, and some motels and guest houses, a group of people with chess tables appeared, inviting passersby to solve chess games for money.

Chess boards are drawn on a plastic or wooden board and display different chess positions. Each game, if lost, the player must pay 20,000 VND, and if won, he will receive 60,000 VND. This form of gambling attracts many participants, most of whom are students.

In fact, this is a "cheating gambling" game, a scam by some greedy people. The "victims" are students and "gullible" passersby. In the first few games, the players always win, but after luring their "prey" into the trap, the owners of the tables "turn the tables", and many people lose hundreds of thousands to this gambling game.

The hobby of playing chess for entertainment is being transformed into a gambling game, taking place openly. We hope that the authorities will step in and eliminate this disguised gambling.
