SHENZHEN, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- Police in southern China's Guangdong Province have arrested 19 suspects for organizing online gambling involving 430 million yuan (around 62.6 million U.S. dollars).

In February, police in Shenzhen City received a tip about a gang setting up an online casino via the social network app WeChat, involving more than 200 gamblers and cash flow of over one million yuan (around 145,000 U.S. dollars) each day.

The police investigation uncovered that the gang used artificial intelligence (AI) to organize and manipulate online gambling.

The police launched a raid on March 23, capturing 15 suspects and seizing computers, mobile phones and account books. Four other suspects were later apprehended.
