Jay Lush and Steve Bungay say their relaxation vacation quickly turned into chaos, as they fell victim to a popular scam at resort casinos in the Dominican Republic. Trouble started when the couple from Holyrood, N.L., headed into the casino at the Hotel Riu Bambu resort near Punta Cana. According to vacation company Sunwing — which Lush and Bungay booked through — the casino is run by a private company separate from the hotel. The couple hoped to enjoy all the beauty and fun the Dominican Republic has to offer. Like what happens to the people who can't afford it when you're being scammed like that and bullied by security guards?"
