October 11, 2010 Three charged with casino theft scheme www.privateofficer.com
Turlock CA Oct 11 2010 Authorities have arrested three people for cheating in a casino. Having swindled the casino out of over $20,000, these three are now in custody.
In a span over 30 minutes, the cheats managed to accumulate $24,000 dollars before security caught on to the scheme.
According to police, the floor supervisor and two others have been charged with 11 criminal charges. Burglary, conspiracy, grand theft, and winning by fraudulent means are the charges that the three face.
Supervisor Robert Younan, 46, Gabriel Rodriguez, 71, and In Cha Say, 58, have all been charged.
Casino workers at Turlock Poker Room caught on when Rodriguez began to play outside of normal strategy. Their investigation brought in the police, and the casino has pressed charges.
The suspects were found to mark cards with a barely noticeable grease, staining cards of the 10 value on the corners while 7 through 9 were marked in the center.
Younan, the alleged inside man, reportedly switched to the tainted cards when his alleged accomplices sat at the tables.
All casinos, particularly online casinos, take very harsh stances against cheaters. In many jurisdictions, cheating in a casino is a violation of criminal code. The best USA casinos provide strict measures against cheating.
