As to the list, I dont believe that any of us think Asians are more prone to criminal activity than other ethnic groups. Wonder what the top 100 breakdown is. I suspect that the percentages are much different.

So to you, stats are worthless. 12.3% of the population
is black, yet prisons are 50% black. This means that
blacks, as an ethnic group, are responsible for more
crimes than any other ethnic group. This is an unarguable
fact, like it or not.

Yet the the fact that half the most wanted casino criminals
are Asian is just an accident, I suppose. Means nothing.

It means that there are more Asian gamblers, only some of which are problem cheaters.
Since a greater percentage of Asians are any sort of casino customer, it stands to reason that a certain percentage will be problem players.
We can also look at Moroms; since gambling is forbidden by their religion, and they are not a large percentage of casino customers, then they would naturally be under-represented on the most wanted list, by virtue of being a non-gamling population of any sort whatsoever: honest, dishonest, problem player, what have you.

So, if we had a list of NON-problem players, Asians would be represented on THAT list also. And this bears out: if you look at many Las Vegas casinos, you'll see many Asians playing there without any issues or problems whatsoever. Can you give them a Gold Star for that, Bob? I give many Asian players gold stars for being model players at my joint.

"most wanted" means these criminals are still at large. Thus we could only conclude that Asian criminals are still out there and that most white / black / Latino criminals have already been caught. That is the only logical explanation of the list. The total population of most criminals could be of any race. It's a simple math problem.

Greater than what? Certainly not greater than whites, or even Latinos.
They play mostly the Asian oriented games, they make up a small
amount of the casinos players.

The most wanted have nothing to do with who's
been caught and who hasn't, demographics wise.
You could have a list of 300 who haven't gotten
caught, from those you have to pick the top 10
worst offenders. Their ethnicity doesn't enter
into it, just their crimes.

They make up a significant portion of casino players, both in the major markets of the West Coast (California and Washington State), the East Coast (AC and Connecticut), and add the LV markets. Pay a trip to Palace Station next time in vegas, you'll see.
Now the Ameristar Casino in Council Bluffs, Iowa is different.

I'd like to see the top 30 most wanted cheaters from the 3 Detroit casinos and see if it compares. Somehow I doubt that it does.

What does that mean, give a number. Are they 50% of the players,
or what. I've been going to Vegas since 75, have things changed
that much since I was there last summer? I didn't see more than few
except at the traditional Asian games, where its 80-100%. I saw
more Asian dealers than Asian players, as usual.
