A Florida man and an accomplice tampered with a video roulette machine at a New Orleans casino and made off with nearly $70,000, according to a report by NOLA.com.

Michael Vincent Shea, 33, of Coral Springs, Fla., pleaded not guilty to charges of felony theft and modifying a gaming device to affect the results of a wager, according to Jefferson Parish court records.

Shea and his accomplice are accused of cheating the casino over a three-day period in 2022, but Shea was not arrested until late February of this year, according to the report. He is being held in the Jefferson Parish Jail under total bond of $60,000 — a little less than the $68,388 he is accused of illegally “winning” from the casino.

The two men were seen on surveillance video tampering with the roulette machine in August of 2022. How they managed to cheat the machine has not been disclosed, but the two suspects cashed 12 tickets worth $31,500 after about 11 hours in the casino, according to an arrest report obtained by the outlet.

Shea and the unnamed suspect returned the next day, again spending 11 hours at the casino, this time cashing in nine tickets worth $19,038. They returned for a final time the following day, cashing in an undisclosed number of tickets worth $17,850.

Authorities have not disclosed how Shea was identified as a suspect. At the time of his arrest in New Orleans, he was also wanted in Missouri for a riverboat gambling violation. Details of that charge were not available in Missouri court records, but the charge was brought in St. Charles, Mo., in October 2022 — just two months after the alleged tampering at the New Orleans casino.

Court records show Shea is due in court in the Missouri case on April 4.
