Canadian casino punished for $120,000 for fraud involving dealers and players
The Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Control Commission (AGCO) has fined Ontario Gaming GTA Limited Partnership, the operator that operates the Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, an impressive $120,000. The reason is the inability to identify and prevent a fraudulent scheme involving both casino employees and visitors.
During the investigation, it turned out that five people were involved in the conspiracy, including two dealers. They, violating the rules, revealed cards that should have remained closed during the deals, and deliberately overpaid accomplices on the won bets. In one week, the fraud brought the scammers $20,000 in damage from the institution.
AGCO stressed that the operator violated fair play standards and did not ensure a sufficient level of internal controls. This was the basis for the fine.

This is not the first case. There are a lot of such schemes inside the casino.
It is hard to believe that the management "did not know". They just drained the scapegoats.
It's good that AGCO is working. But how could they miss this is a question.
Lol, so maybe I should also make friends with the dealer?
20K in a week? Do they have no control over what is happening in their gym at all?
