Large Scale Cheating Scandal

The online casino gambling industry is not the only sector of the gambling industry targeted by criminal activities and fraudsters. The latest news to break in the US concerns an organization that has systematically defrauded more than a dozen land casinos across the US, notably dive of the land gambling venues targeted were tribal casinos. Eleven members of the Tran Organization were arrested and accused of conspiracy according to recent information released by the California government. The cheating activity took place over several years and on a huge scale according to the small amount of information released on the case.

The last cheating scandal to rock the gambling industry was the announcement that two major online casinos poker gambling companies were subject to a huge fraud investigation. Both Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet were the center of more than a million dollars in defrauded funds and the online poker sites were forced to investigate the cases and reimburse players that were negatively affected by the cheats. In this case though it looks as though the US government will do a might better job at prosecuting the criminals involved than occurred in the online cheats.

The eleven individuals in custody this past week were named in a grand jury indictment and some of the more serious charges included conspiracy to steal money from tribal casinos and racketeering charges. The individuals involved bribed key floor supervisors at the land casinos as well as the card dealers. Then the dealers would “false shuffle” the deck, which is a cheating method that then relies on card counting – those involved were able to operate throughout several years and across several states.
