A dealer at Wynn Resorts' Encore casino in Everett, Massachusetts, and two other people have been charged in connection with a two-night cheating scheme.
Authorities allege that Jianming Li, 53, an Encore Boston Harbor casino dealer, colluded with Jun Zhang, 41, of New York, a former Maryland casino dealer, and De Lin 46, of Philadelphia, in a cheating scheme in the game of baccarat that netted them a total of $23,500 over two nights.
It is alleged that while dealing the cards, Li exposed a series of playing cards, memorised them, marked them with a bookmark card, then used his cellphone to communicate the cards and their order to Zhang, when both excused themselves to use separate bathrooms.
