Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun hit by gambling scam


(NECN) - A Tennessee man has been arrested for his part in a cheating scam that cost Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods $70,000 since late last year.

Officials charged 42-year-old Richard Taylor of Memphis with cheating at gambling, conspiracy and first-degree larceny.

Troopers say casino dealers paid players for late bets, then collected payments later from those winners in return for the favor.

Twelve more people are expected to face charges in the conspiracy.
