Police seized about 300 crickets and $1,025 in cash during the bust, said police spokesman T.K. Ng.
The alleged bug gamblers remained in custody Sunday, but weren't immediately charged, Ng said. Illegal gambling carries a maximum penalty of $1,280 and three months' imprisonment.
They should be put to death
