A Mohegan Sun baccarat dealer is facing charges that he fixed card games, costing Mohegan Sun $124,000.

Tribal police said Yu Wen Fu, 64, of 74 Briar Lane, Norwich, was working as a baccarat dealer on the morning of April 21, 2023, when a pit manager noticed Fu handling the cards suspiciously. The manager notified the casino’s surveillance department, whose cameras are ubiquitous on the gaming floor.

Fu, police reports show, had “set up the deck” prior to a certain player coming to his table. Dealers in baccarat are supposed to “wash” the cards on the table prior to shuffling and dealing. Washing is a term used for the act of randomly moving the cards around on the table while they are still face down before the deck is shuffled and put back in a card shoe for dealing.
