Ontario Casino Dealer Charged with Colluding with Patrons
A recent case of gambling-related misconduct has emerged as a table games dealer from Pickering Casino Resort in Ontario faces charges for allegedly engaging in collusion with players. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) reported the incident, explaining that on August 3, 2023, their Enforcement Bureau received allegations regarding a casino employee's involvement in assisting patrons to secure wins.
Following the received signals, an investigation was promptly initiated with the collaborative support of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. This thorough inquiry ultimately led to the apprehension of four individuals suspected of colluding at Pickering Casino Resort. The four accused parties are now confronted with criminal charges and are slated to appear in court at a later date.
Multiple Charges Including Fraud

According to the official report, Sandeep Sogi, a 24-year-old resident of Toronto, is the central figure in this illicit activity. Mr. Sogi is charged with criminal breach of trust, and in addition to this, he is facing four counts each of cheating at play and fraud over CA$5,000. As defined by the Criminal Code, cheating at play involves an intention to defraud others.
Sandeep Sogi was not acting alone in these activities. He was accompanied by Sukhvir Singh, a 28-year-old from Mississauga; Deepak Kakkar, a 30-year-old from Brampton; and Anchhu Kumar, a 24-year-old also hailing from Brampton. These three individuals collectively face charges of cheating at play, fraud over CA$5,000, and possession of property originating from crimes over CA$5,000.
OPP Declines Further Details
While the OPP acknowledged the case's existence, they refrained from divulging specific details regarding the alleged collusion method and the total sum of money involved in the fraudulent activities. These details are expected to emerge during the court proceedings when the evidence is presented before a judge.
The four suspects have been released from custody, and their upcoming appearance in an Oshawa courtroom is anticipated. Since the investigation is ongoing, the OPP has appealed to anyone with pertinent information to come forward and assist their investigators. The exact court date for the suspects is yet to be determined.
A String of Gambling-Related Crimes
This incident is not the first of its kind this year. Earlier, the OPP had reported another case involving a dealer collaborating with patrons. In that instance, five individuals were arrested, including an employee from Woodbine Casino in Toronto. The accused individual, 52-year-old Arthur Segovia, faced charges including criminal breach of trust, cheating at play, theft over CA$5,000, and fraud over CA$5,000.
Additional instances of gambling-related crimes have also come to light. One such case involved a 27-year-old woman, Abigail Aseani Lindsay, from Toronto, accused of orchestrating a lottery scam targeting seniors in Alberta and Manitoba. Lindsay faced charges of defrauding the public over CA$5,000 and two counts of possession of property obtained through criminal means.
Our Conclusion
In our reality, the perception often lingers that only casinos hold the power to amass profits while potentially deceiving their clientele. However, it's worth considering that even a casino's strategies can falter when dealing with cunning individuals. In this intricate landscape, attempting to outwit those well-versed in the art of deception can prove to be a complex endeavor.

Parkerroberts This is a perfect example of why self-exclusion programs exist. They’re there to help people stay away from gambling. Trying to bypass them not only defeats the purpose but can lead to serious trouble like this.

Donaldbetty It's concerning to see such young individuals involved in large-scale cyber attacks. This shows the importance of investing in cybersecurity education and preventive measures from a young age. Hopefully, the authorities can get to the bottom of this and prevent future incidents.

HelenTheAmbitious It's great to see that Ontario is cracking down on unregulated gaming sites, but lowering the RTP to 85% feels like a sneaky way to take more from players. Regulation should mean better protection, not just more ways for the house to win.
