Special Investigation: Behind the closed doors of private gaming clubs

They appear to operate without legal impediment and out of the public eye, so what actually happens behind the closed doors of the country’s casinos?

They are not allowed to sell alcohol, but some sell drink on demand and at all hours. They are meant to be closely monitoring every one who is admitted. Yet some clubs simply charge an entrance fee to anyone who crosses the threshold.

The completely unregulated nature of the clubs means there are widely differing interpretations of what is permitted to go on and what actually happens.
