A gambling dealer at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut is facing charges of rigging the games, which cost the property about $124,000. The pit manager questioned Yu Wen Fu’s handling of cards on April 21 and reported these concerns to the property’s control team.
This led to the discovery that the 64-year-old was setting up the deck whenever a particular player approached his table. Instead of “washing” the cards face down before a new round, he would often look at some of them and arrange them in a specific order on the top of the deck before proceeding to give signals to a player named Haoen Jiang.
Earn up to $29,835 in one session
The casino reported the scam to tribal police and authorities searched footage of games the two suspects participated in dating back one month. They found cases in which Jiang won up to $29,835 in one session and a total of $124,260.
The player does not face any charges. He claimed that he did not know the merchant even though he had Vu’s number in his phone. Fu also denies knowing the player and denies being involved in any form of cheating. He claimed that the cards sometimes accidentally flip over during washing, and stressed that he does not intentionally rearrange the cards.
The casino suspended the dealer due to an ongoing investigation and police arrested him in November and charged him with several counts of theft.
