I recently began asking the illegal gambling operators on Westminster Bridge in central London for their gambling licenses, as part of a London Centric investigation into how the bridge had become a hub of illegal activity, despite being next to parliament and the Met police HQ.

They didn’t like it. Read the full investigation here for details of illegal ice cream vans making big money, overseas organised crime gangs, scammers, and pickpockets - plus the struggles of the police to enforce the law with limited resources.

It's not gambling, it's a sleight of hand con. He removes the ball so that it's not under any of the cups. The "winners" in the crowd are part of the scam.

They shouldn't be here.

You are doing a public service here because these games are even more rigged than your average casino.
