Phantom bets at craps table.
Two former casino dealers and two friends are accused of siphoning more than $1 million off craps tables over two years, using phantom bets at Las Vegas' posh Bellagio resort.
"Cheating is common," one official says. "We arrest 350 to 500 people a year for cheating or theft from a casino. But to have it go this long and for this much money is unusual." Arrests came after another dealer became suspicious and notified casino investigators.
