Roulette rort: two men accused of rigging casino game

Two men accused of rigging games at a Sydney casino and winning more than $25,000 are set to face court.

Organised Crime police charged a casino employee and an associate with the scam, alleging they rigged roulette bets during September and October 2023.

The men would move bets after the roulette result was finalised, police allege.

They are accused of profiting more than $25,000 through their scam.

Roulette involves a ball being spun on a wheel, with punters betting on which number the ball will land on.

Players place chips on a table next to the wheel while the ball is spinning, but are not permitted to touch their chips after the dealer declares no more bets can be made.

A 23-year-old Sydney casino dealer was charged with facilitating conduct that corrupts the betting outcome of an event and obtaining benefit in a casino by dishonest means.

His 22-year-old associate has been hit with the same charges.

They are scheduled to appear in the Downing Centre Local Court on November 1.
