Tuesday, April 5, 2011  

Seven people, including a former card dealer, have been charged for stealing from a First Nations casino in Saskatchewan.

Authorities said the group participated in a scam at the Gold Eagle Casino. They aren't providing details about the case, including the amount of money taken from the facility.

"It's a normal thing that happens in the casino world, but it's rare to see in Saskatchewan," Daniel Morin, the director of security and surveillance for the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, told The Saskatoon StarPhoenix.

The seven are each accused of stealing over $5,000 from the casino.
