The game involves players having to guess which one of three shells is hiding a small ball underneath in order to double their bet.
However, the game is well-known for being used to de-fraud and scam tourists in the area.
Palma Council has confirmed that it is aware of the game, and confirmed that it is illegal to play it, according to The Sun.
Local Palma police tweeted a video with a group of people showing the shell game to tourists. The police warned: "Do not approach these groups, they act outside the law. If you play their game you will lose everything."
Meanwhile, new rules have also come into effect for Ibiza and Majorca, with holidaymakers visiting resorts here warned that if they attend illegal parties they could face fines exceeding €200,000.
Here are more rules Irish tourists should be aware of before heading to Spain on their holiday:
No bikinis on the streets
While wearing a two-piece on a Spanish beach is nothing out of the ordinary, women in swimwear and topless men on the street in Barcelona and Majorca may be fined up to €300.
So you'll have to be sure to cover up when you're on certain seafront promenades or the adjacent streets
Additionally, some public authorities have banned woman from wearing the burka or niqab in their buildings.
No soap or shampoo in beach showers
Tourists may be fined up to €750 for using soap or shampoo at all beach showers as the chemicals can be harmful to marine life.
Drinking alcohol on the streets
Drinking alcohol on the streets in certain places like Barcelona and Madrid is banned.
Holidaymakers could face fines of up to €600 for breach of rules.
Additionally, the "six drinks a day" rule will come into affect at all-inclusive resorts in the Balearic Islands.
No 'balconying'
Balconying is the act of jumping into a swimming pool from a balcony or between balconies in hotels.
The dangerous stunt has resulted in a number of deaths and injuries and now you can be fined a whopping €60,000 for balconying in the Balearic Islands.
No smoking on some beaches
Smoking has been banned on some beaches in parts of Spain like Barcelona, the Balearic, and the Canary Islands.
There are designated smoking zones you can use but you may be fined up to €2,000 if you smoke elsewhere on the beach.
