A man has been accused of stealing more than $14,000 worth of casino chips from staffers at Rivers Casino in Des Plaines.

Ismail Ahmed Ateyat, 23, walked into Rivers Casino, 3000 S. River Rd., wearing a black face mask Oct. 31 and pointed a handgun at casino employees. He stole casino chips worth $14,100 and left, the Illinois Gaming Board said.

Gaming Board agents traced Ateyat to his Chicago Ridge home, where they found the stolen chips and a handgun, officials said.

Ateyat was arrested and charged with three felony counts of armed robbery. A judge ordered him detained in the Cook County Jail while awaiting trial.

His next court date was scheduled for Nov. 30.
