Same ol' same ol'--but a $4 million scam at a Central California Casino? I would think that's a bit much.
According to reports, a dealer/player/ cheat-team who are also wife/husband, in that order, cheated the Parkwest Casino 580 out of four million bucks by what seems to be either/or a false shuffle baccarat scam/peek and memorize the cards at the back of the shoe scam, or both. This is very hard to believe, and even though the cheat-team allegedly operated for two years, I cannot imagine them getting that kind of money out of that casino and getting away with it for so long. From the descriptions, I am not sure of the actual mechanics of the scam but it must involve the tricks I mentioned above.
Khan "Tina" Tran and Eric Nguyen, the happily or desperately married couple, have been arrested on various felony charges.
Haven't we all heard the last name "Nguyen" in many big-time insider-cheat baccarat scams before?
