Former Hommerson Casino Employees Face Trial for Roulette Manipulation
Two former employees of Hommerson Casino appeared in court this week, suspected of manipulating the roulette game at the establishment. They allegedly earned €127,000 through this scheme, a figure the duo disputes. The Public Prosecution Service is demanding an eight-month prison sentence, with four months suspended.
A former branch manager and a member of the technical service at Hommerson Casino recently had to appear in court for embezzling €127,000. The pair allegedly manipulated a roulette machine in the Hommerson Casino branch to defraud the casino, according to reports.
The two have admitted to the fraud, but contest the amount of €127,000. They claim the actual figure is much lower. Their assessment is solely based on the findings of the detective agency that Hommerson hired when it discovered the fraud. The former employees believe a more thorough investigation is needed.
Ball Consistently Landed on the Correct Number
During the hearing, it became clear that the 46-year-old former technical service employee initially acted alone. He manipulated the roulette machines so that they consistently landed on the numbers he wanted. He allegedly did this from May 2022 to March 2023.
During this period, the 57-year-old branch manager discovered the fraud, after which he participated in the scheme. However, this allegedly happened under duress, the manager told the court. The technical man allegedly knew private things about him and threatened to make them public if he did not cooperate.
The money earned by manipulating the roulette all went to the technical service employee of Hommerson. The 46-year-old former employee also confirmed this in court:
“He didn’t get anything out of it.”
