State police say Shaun Benward and Denielle Derohan worked together to cheat at roulette. The couple from Mississippi distracted the dealer as the wheel was spinning.

Derohan would watch where the ball stopped and then alert Benward before the dealer could see where the ball landed.

At that moment he would give the dealer his bet.

Troopers says the couple tried to do this five times and succeeded three times in a 24-hour period.

A check of the Gaming Control Board’s website shows Shaun Benward is on the casino exclusion list.
