Two men have been charged with rigging bets at the roulette table at The Star casino.

Police allege the pair, one a dealer and one a gambler, worked together to illegally collect $25,000 in “winnings”.

The punter would place his chips on a number and, once the spin was completed, the dealer would move the bet to make sure it was a winner.

Police allege they have CCTV footage of the two working in tandem on three occasions last year.

Detectives from the organised Crime Squad charged the 23-year-old-dealer and his 22-year old mate with facilitating conduct to corrupt the betting outcome of an event, and obtain or attempt to obtain benefit from a casino from dishonest measures.

Both were granted bail.
