According to a recent article by the Financial Times, excessive taxes and strict government policies have made it necessary for many businessmen to find creative ways to dupe the authorities.
While the article focuses on the current political unrest in China, it references a property developer who has set-up high stakes poker games in order to bribe high ranking officials.
Employing a professional poker player, the businessman "allows the officials to play on credit, shows up to drink a few toasts and play a few rounds".
He then leaves the game and instructs his representative to purposely lose money to a certain player on the table.
The unique way of bribing people probably isn't the best advert for the game, but it's certainly an inventive one.
