At the end of October 2019, Quyen set up a dice gambling den that operated from 12:00 to 18:00 every day in the forest of Binh Chau - Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve. The den was built with makeshift tarps surrounded by dense trees. Every day he changed locations to avoid detection by the police.

Quyen hired a group of underlings for 300,000-700,000 VND per day to help shake the dice, keep watch over many rounds, lead players into the casino and remind them to pay after each bet. Each game, the winner had to pay the casino owner 50,000 VND for every 1 million VND won. Gamblers revealed that there were games with even-odd bets ranging from several hundred million VND to 1 billion VND.
