A Connecticut man has pleaded guilty for his role in running an online gambling ring with ties to the Gambino crime family.

Richard "Big Baldy" Uva, 44, of Trumbull entered the plea Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas P. Smith to conspiring to violate the federal Racketeer and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Uva faces up to 51 months in prison and a $75,000 fine.

He agreed to forfeit $87,268, or half of the $174,537 that law enforcement agents seized from him over two years ago along with another $162,731 within three years of his sentencing.

Uva is one of 20 individuals arrested last year in connection with running the Costa Rica-based website 44Wager.com. That site is no longer online.
