A former blackjack dealer at Mohegan Sun is facing charges that he helped two players cheat the casino out of more than $61,000.
David Peters, 49, of New London, was originally arrested in October after Mohegan Tribal police said they observed him using various cheating methods to help a gambler at the blackjack table.
According to an arrest warrant, Peters would steer cards in the player's direction to help his blackjack hand, pay the player for a push, allow the player to add to his wager after the cards had been shown and not collect the player's wager for a losing hand, among other things.
Police reviewed surveillance tape of other nights and found Peters had done this on several occasions, involving two different players, the warrant stated.
On a single night in October, Peters and the two players cheated Mohegan Sun out of nearly $35,000, police said.
One of the patrons was identified by police, but the other was not.
Peters was expected to be in court on Thursday.
