Mohegan Sun Dealer Charged With Cheating

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) ― A blackjack dealer and five customers have been charged with trying to cheat the Mohegan Sun casino.
 
Surveillance personell reported the scam. Police say Rory Shaffer, the 28-year-old dealer from Plainfield, was handing out winnings to which the customers were not entitled.

They say he conspired with 21-year-old Samuel Pierce, 21, of New York, and 21-year-old Jonathan Hayman of Philadelphia to cheat the casino out of more than $16,000.

Three other customers, 33-year-old Mohammad Naeem of Elmont, N.Y., 45-year-old Edrice Domond of Stamford and 42-year-old Edwin Cardona of Willimantic accepted less than $250 from the dealer at the table to which they were not entitled.

All six face larceny charges and are scheduled to appear Oct. 2 in Norwich Superior Court.
