Armed with a Pattaya court search warrant the authorities found the Chinese and a host of evidence in the form of computer notebooks, mobile phones and electronic accounts.
In one room there were 14 men and 3 women taking bets while there were two people in another room.
Nearly 200 phones were seized.
