Backgammon Cheaters Sentenced to Probation and are Barred from A.C. Casinos
Three of the four men involved in a large-scale poker and backgammon cheating scandal at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City two years have received 3-5 years on probation.
A fourth suspect was released with no charges last July.
The trio is barred from Atlantic City casinos for the time of their sentences.
All four pleaded not guilty of cheating their opponents in the games of backgammon, Chinese poker and chess, aided by sophisticated surveillance equipment while taking over two hotel rooms.
One of the accused received the longest probation period. He allegedly supplied the cameras and the transmitters, while another contributed his technology skills. The scheme was discovered by a police raid on the hotel room that stored the surveillance equipment.
These things happen. But I’m glad they were caught. I’m all for big winners. And taking all you can from the Casinos. But cheating? No thanks. I’ll take my winnings the hard way. By earning them.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
