$40 Million Man Archie Karas Charged with Casino Cheating
Archie Karas was searching good back within the mid 1990s whenever he won $40 million. Now he's been charged as a card cheat in a California casino.
One of the world's many famous gamblers has been charged with cheating and defrauding a casino; Archie Karas, now 62, who had been said to have built up $40 million in winnings over three years within the mid 1990s from a genuine $50 stake years ago only to lose it all back, had been presumably caught marking cards at a blackjack table in a California casino recently.
Arrested at Their House
Based on authorities, Karas was taken into custody last week at his Las Vegas home. Karas will be extradited to San Diego to face charges of burglary, cheating and winning by fraudulent means. Karas may potentially face up to 36 months in jail if he is convicted of all costs.
'This defendant's luck ran out thanks to extraordinary cooperation between various legislation enforcement agencies who worked together to investigate and prosecute this instance,' said Bonnie Dumanis, north park County District Attorney.
The case had been opened in July, after Karas whose name that is real Anargyros Karabourniotis had been seen on safety cameras marking cards in a blackjack game using tiny amounts of dye. Karas ended up being marking all of the cards worth ten (tens, jacks, queens and kings), also as aces, in order to gain an edge over the Barona Resort and Casino in Lakeside, California, which is situated inland in North San Diego County.
