A woman has been sentenced to eight months in jail and fined RMB20,000 (approx US$3,000) after being caught using fake game tokens at an amusement arcade in China.
34-year-old Zhang Lili found the custom game tokens, which were compatible with the tokens used in her favourite arcade, online and ordered over 30,000 of them.
Over the course of a number of months she continued to play in the arcade, but using the fake tokens, until her activity caught the attention of the arcade owner. He discovered that there were a lot more tokens in his arcade than the amount that the arcade had started with.
Zhang confessed to the crime and went to the local police station to turn herself in. According to local police, Zhang spent over 20,000 of her tokens causing the arcade to lose over $1,570.
