As reported by the Yakima Herald Republic: "Prosecutors have filed a rare
felony charge against a former casino dealer accused of manipulating card
games. "Peter R. Schuetz, 29, of Kittitas was arraigned Tuesday in Yakima
County Superior Court on charges of first-degree cheating, a Class C felony,
as well as a gross misdemeanor charge of third-degree theft. "According to
charging documents, Schuetz was working for the Nob Hill Casino in October
when state gaming regulators were asked to review security tapes. "...An
agent with the state Gambling Commission said a review of the security
footage showed Schuetz shuffling in a way that manipulated the results of a
card game called 'Match the Dealer.'..."
