The very large Casino not far from where I live typically had mega numbers of Chinese people there in the evenings, especially on the weekends. They came in bus loads and constantly so. In the past two weeks I have been there 4 times, on the key nights, and not a sign of a Chinese gambler anywhere.

As a side note, obvious incidents of money laundering have been non existent as well.
