Dozens accused in scheme to cheat casinos

Two dozen people from Washington, California and Canada were indicted today on allegations of racketeering and scheming to cheat casinos out of millions of dollars.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SEATTLE -- Jacob Dyson Nickels, the son of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, has been indicted as part of an investigation into a multistate casino-cheating ring that allegedly stole millions of dollars by bribing casino employees to falsely shuffle decks.

Nickels was a pit boss at the Nooksack Indian Tribe's Nooksack River Casino in Whatcom County in the summer of 2005 when he accepted $5,000 to introduce one of the ring's alleged conspirators to crooked dealers, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday at U.S. District Court in Seattle.
