Two Las Vegas baccarat dealers were arrested last week for helping guests cheat and win thousands of dollars at Rampart Casino.
Yuxuan Leng and a second unnamed person allegedly revealed the gaming cards to players on six occasions in May, which helped the guests win more than $5,000 each.
'Once the dealers revealed the gaming cards to [the two players], it provided them knowledge of the game and possible outcome,' investigators wrote in court documents obtained by 8news.
Staff at the Rampart Casino at JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa first noticed the two frequent baccarat players in May this year when they had 'been winning more than usual' in that month.
Casino surveillance made table managers suspicious that Leng and her co-accused were showing the gaming cards to two players, allowing them to rig the outcome.
It is alleged Leng 'revealed gaming cards to [the two players] before they wagered their final bets' in two incidents.
'Leng would flash the player hand and/or banker hand to give knowledge of the possible outcome of the game,' court documents claim.
'After knowing the possible outcome of the game, [the two players] were able to wager more in order to capitalize on the information provided to them by Leng.'
The second dealer, whose name was redacted in court documents, revealed gaming cards to the two players on four occasions, investigators said.
During an investigation conducted by security at the casino and the Nevada Gaming Control Board, one player admitted to cheating with the help of dealers.
The player admitted to having the baccarat dealers show him gaming cards during his play and taking advantage of the knowledge acquired, investigators said. The second player denied all involvement.
The unnamed dealer was said to be 'one of the fastest dealers, but sloppy as well,' documents said.
He denied receiving money from any of the players, and was later arrested by gaming control board investigators.
Leng was arrested by police on November 2nd on charges of cheating and attempting or conspiring to cheat at a gambling game, records showed.
The unnamed dealer faces a cheating charge.
