My girlfriend worked in a casino and was locked up for two months. Today, the detention center asked me to hire a lawyer. I want to ask what this is all about.

Working in a casino should be criminally detained (assisting or being an accessory) on suspicion of opening a casino. It is your right to hire a lawyer, and the executive organ informs you that you have the right to entrust a lawyer now.

Criminal law of the people's Republic of China

Article 303 Crime of gambling; The crime of opening a casino is for the purpose of making profits, and those who gather people to gamble or take gambling as their business shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also be fined.

Whoever opens a casino shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also be fined; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined.
