Convicted Cheater Considered for Black Book17 February 2003NEVADA --At its monthly meeting Thursday, the Nevada Gaming Commission is expected to consider nominating a convicted slot cheat for inclusion in Nevada's Black Book. The Black Book is another term for Nevada regulators' List of Excluded Persons and is aimed at banning criminals and undesirables from Nevada casinos for life. In November the state Gaming Control Board voted to nominate Tommy Glenn Carmichael to the Black Book because of his record of three gaming-related felonies and his alleged association with two other people already listed in the Black Book. Carmichael, along with five other local residents, was indicted on charges of running a national slot cheating ring that authorities believe cost casinos more than $5 million. The ring crafted homemade cheating devices that they sold and used themselves in casinos nationwide. The group also was in the process of developing a computerized device that could rig slot machines by remote control, authorities say. |
