The NSW organised crime casino and racing unit began investigating in October 2023, police say in a statement released on Friday.

The inquiry identified a 23-year-old casino employee and a 22-year-old alleged accomplice.

In court, police will allege the pair would move bets after the roulette ball had landed on a number. They allegedly did so multiple times, making $25,000.
