LANSING (WWJ) -- A scheme to steal money from a Detroit casino will net prison time for several players and a former casino dealer.

Darryl Green, 53, a former dealer at Motor City Casino, allegedly paid out or didn't collect on losing bets to six other defendants while playing Texas Hold 'em.

Five of seven defendants charged in relation to a cheating conspiracy scheme at the casino have pled guilty.
