Upsurge in cases of roulette fraud in land-based casinos

1 - City of Dreams Mediterranean (Cyprus)

The City of Dreams Mediterranean is a huge project that should see the light of day in 2021 in Cyprus. This luxury complex will have several hotels and casinos. While waiting for this upcoming opening, a temporary casino has been installed near the construction site.

Is it because of this context that a dealer thought he detected a flaw? Still, this man altered the operation of the roulette wheel with the help of an accomplice. The latter thus won €6,000 in the space of a month, thanks to 18 games on the dealer's table in question. This lack of discretion obviously alerted the security services, who arrested the dealer but remain without news of the accomplice, on the run.

2 - Mohegan Sun (Massachusetts, USA)

This is a case similar to the Cyprus case, at least if we exclude the figures mentioned: the dealer and his accomplice embezzled more than $ 60,000 from the Mohegan Sun!

While the dealer is currently appearing in court on four charges, his accomplice is still in the wild. Like what, it is better to be a simple accomplice rather than a gaming professional in this type of scam...

3 - Star Casino (Sydney, Australia)

Although the Star Casino is equipped with more than 3000 surveillance cameras, this did not prevent a dealer from trying his luck... in a grotesque way.

As the videotapes show, the man chats with the players around the table before disappearing a token of $5000 Australian dollars in the palm of his hand. He then pretends to look for something under the table before getting up with empty hands facing the camera, as required by the procedure. Not fooled, the security services then spy on the dealer's every move and catch him red-handed by seeing him give the $ 5,000 token to one of his friends. Logically dismissed, the man has since received a suspended prison sentence.
