MGM Grand poker cheating case nets arrest and indicts nine
One man was arrested and eight others sought as suspects in a secret Clark County Grand Jury indictment over a poker room cheating scheme at the MGM Grand Las Vegas Strip. Leonard Goldman, a casino dealer, was charged with swindling while a cardroom manager and shifts boss were among those charged with conspiracy and varied offenses. State agents surveilled the operation after hotel management alerted investigators in January. The 12 count indictment outlines dealer methods, including false shuffling, peeking, and withholding pots, with losses tied to $1 and $3 seven card stud games averaging $25 to $30 per pot. The state intends to revoke work cards for dealers involved.
