Giuseppe “Little Joe” Manzi, a local organized crime associate, was busy for months at the Bally’s Casino and Resort in Lincoln, Rhode Island, according to authorities.

He allegedly used other people’s identities to get perks there and won a lot of cash.

Roughly $600,000 turned into nearly $1.2 million, according to Rhode Island state police. His codefendants allegedly won a bit more.

“During the last twelve (12) months, Manzi has placed approximately $630,000.00 of United States Currency into the slot machines. In the casino world, this is referred to his ‘coin in.’ During the 116 days of slot machine play, Manzi has won $1,156,105.00,” police records say.
