In a span over 30 minutes, the cheats managed to accumulate $24,000 dollars before security caught on to the scheme.

Supervisor Robert Younan, 46, Gabriel Rodriguez, 71, and In Cha Say, 58, have all been charged.
Casino workers at Turlock Poker Room caught on when Rodriguez began to play outside of normal strategy. Their investigation brought in the police, and the casino has pressed charges.

Younan, the alleged inside man, reportedly switched to the tainted cards when his alleged accomplices sat at the tables.
