These gamblers are playing Craps at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino. It was at tables like this that the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun cheating took place, said police.
"Mr. Casino" is having a terrible string of luck.
Richard Taylor of Memphis was in New London Superior Court appealing his conviction for leading a craps cheating scam, when he passed out.
The Associated Press reports he was asking a judge to appoint a public defender when he fell to the ground.
In May, Taylor was sentenced to 10 years for larceny and other crimes against the state's two casinos.
The scam, said prosecutors, involved dealers allowing late bets for Taylor and others. It bilked Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos out of nearly $70,000 in 2007.
A spokesman at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital said Taylor was in good condition Monday afternoon.
