Alleged Casino Cheaters Headed to Court in Ohio

CLEVELAND - (Associated Press) — Prosecutors say they have compelling video evidence against the first suspected casino cheaters in Ohio.

Seven men have been indicted in Cleveland on illegal gambling charges and six are due in court Wednesday morning. The seventh was arraigned last week and pleaded not guilty.

Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Prosecutor Bill Mason says he will show surveillance video from the new Horseshoe casino if any case goes to trial. In his words, "It's not going to be difficult to figure out what they are doing."

In late May a casino opened in Toledo, where at least eight cheating and other gambling-related cases have been under investigation.

Casinos also are planned in Cincinnati and Columbus.
