MELAKA: The kingpin and operators of illegal gambling dens here have gone into hiding, but their former henchmen and employees are continuing the racket in housing estates and condominiums.

Dubbed “nomads” by the police for the way they keep moving their illicit activities around, these stragglers are taking the risk because of a revised betting system that they believe will bring them bigger profits in a shorter time.
