Pennsylvania Casino Workers Arrested in “Complex Cheating” Scheme

Pennsylvania police have arrested two Rivers Casino employees accused of orchestrating a sophisticated cheating operation involving a roulette table.

The suspects, identified as dealer Robin Schnepp and supervisor Anthony Laush, allegedly conspired with at least two players to exploit a flaw in the Interblock Roulette system, netting thousands of dollars in illegal winnings.

An anonymous letter sent to Rivers Casino earlier this year triggered the investigation, revealing suspicious activity tied to manual roulette spins.

Key details from the investigation include:

• Dealers allegedly failed to spin the ball correctly, causing sensors to malfunction and allowing late bets.

• Surveillance footage captured Schnepp mishandling the ball as players increased their bets post-spin.

• Laush reportedly validated these spins, enabling both players to win over $2,000 each.

Additional findings revealed:

• Laush is also accused of adding unauthorized comps to one player's account.

• The casino incurred losses exceeding $10,000 due to the fraudulent activities.

• Rivers Casino confirmed cooperation with Pennsylvania State Police and is reviewing its security procedures.

Community response and next steps:

• A regular visitor praised law enforcement for catching those responsible.

• Schnepp and Laush are scheduled for preliminary hearings on April 2.

• Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the implicated players will face charges.

Both casino employees now face serious legal consequences as the investigation continues, underscoring the growing vigilance against internal casino fraud.
