The trio walked into the gaming property at about 1:30 a.m. and pulled out firearms. They demanded the loot and then fled, possibly toward the French side of Saint Martin. They were dressed in dark clothes at the time of the holdup, according to The Daily Herald<\/em>, a local newspaper.<\/p>\n

Local police on the Caribbean island searched the crime scene for evidence and spoke to witnesses. No arrests were made as of Friday.<\/p>\n

No one was believed to have been injured during the robbery.<\/p>\n

Bally\u2019s Player Accused of Cheating<\/h2>\n

A man who was playing baccarat at Bally\u2019s Casino Chicago<\/a> on Sunday was charged with cheating.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Isaias Garcia-Martinez, allegedly held a bet until cards were dealt, according to Chicago TV station WFLD<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He won $5,000. When he returned to the casino on Tuesday, authorities arrested him. He was scheduled to appear in local court on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was the first arrest for cheating at Bally’s Chicago since the temporary property opened on September 9, WFLD<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Dead Man Discovered at Casino<\/h2>\n

Authorities discovered a dead body in a car at California\u2019s Gold Country Casino Resort<\/a> on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The deceased was identified as Barry MacDonald, 66, of Palermo, Calif., according to the\u00a0Butte County Sheriff\u2019s Office, California TV station KNVN<\/em> reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MacDonald was located at about 6:07 p.m. at the Oroville, Calif. property.<\/p>\n

The local coroner\u2019s office will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death.<\/p>\n

Casino Player Could Face Charges<\/h2>\n

A man who allegedly left a five-year-old in a vehicle at Pennsylvania\u2019s Presque Isle Downs and Casino<\/a> was banned from the state\u2019s gaming properties and could face criminal charges.<\/p>\n

The unidentified man\u2019s name was placed on the state\u2019s involuntary exclusion list. He won’t be able to return to the state’s Erie, Pa., casino or other gaming facilities after a ruling by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board<\/a> (PGCB).<\/p>\n

The five-year-old was alone in a car while the man spent close to a half-hour inside the casino trying his luck on table games, according to Pennsylvania TV station WICU<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The outside temperature while the kid was in the car was 85 degrees. There’s been no word if the child suffered any injuries from the heat.<\/p>\n

The PGCB prohibits leaving children in vehicles unattended at casinos while adults enter a gaming property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
