Full story in Toronto Star article

"Baccarat cheats netted $2 million-plus after recruiting dealers, police allege"

"U.S. authorities said the scheme targeted 18 gaming parlours in Canada, California, Nevada, Mississippi, Louisiana, Washington state, Indiana and Connecticut.

The scheme netted $3.3 million (U.S.) from the American casinos, according to U.S. indictments unsealed yesterday."

Any word on this in the US? Other casinos involved?

The operation bears the mark of organized crime in the sense that those involved knew each other, Paterson said. "It took some co-operation and planning."

LOL that is the same as saying "the operation bears the mark of organized crime in the sense that it was a crime, and it was organized."

some of our local papers (in Toronto) mentioned that the gang recruited dealers. Nothing more specific, though...

One of the people tagged in this was the son of the mayor of Seattle.


"Among those named in the indictments unsealed Thursday were casino card dealers and pit bosses, including Jacob Nickels, 25, the son of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, who prosecutors say were bribed to participate in the plot.
