Uh-Oh.[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"] High-tech casino cheating charged
SAN DIEGO -- Two dozen people are accused of cheating casinos in several states and Canada out of more than $3 million since 2002 by using technology and bribes to rig card games.
According to indictments unsealed in San Diego and Seattle, participants in the scheme would signal a dealer to do a false shuffle and bet on the known order of the cards. The indictments also allege that players used hidden transmitters and special software to predict the order in which cards would appear.
Among those indicted is the son of Seattle, Wash., Mayor Greg Nickels.
