Husband and wife Eric Nguyen and Khan “Tina” Tran were charged and arraigned in connection with the alleged theft from the 580 Casino in Livermore where Tran worked as a Baccarat dealer.

Prosecutors allege that the pair conspired to cheat at Baccarat between 2015 and 2017.

World's Biggest Casino Hub is Back in Business - Macau has taken its first steps on the road to recovery as the casino capital starts issuing tourist visas again.

Asia's gambling hub became a ghost town after coronavirus lockdowns saw a severe downturn in visitors.

Macau authorities said they will slowly start handing out tourist visas from Wednesday to bring gamblers back.

Casino operators have been losing $15m (£11.5m) daily in expenses, according to estimates.

Visas for both individuals and group tours from mainland China will be restored in phases.
