The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut says two employees worked with a patron to cheat the casino out of nearly $30,000.
According to news reports, a floor supervisor and roulette dealer at the Mohegan Sun covered up losses sustained by a patron and shared the proceeds. All three are now facing charges of first-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny.
The dealer, Christian Elwood, appeared in court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty, The Norwich Bulletin reported. Floor supervisor Joseph P. Marotta is expected to appear in court in August while patron Jeremy Paul Howard is expected later this month, the paper said.
The scam was uncovered in May.
