Slot cheat nominated to list of excluded persons

Monday, Nov. 11, 2002 | 11:01 a.m.

Convicted slot machine cheat Tommy Glenn Carmichael was nominated by the state Gaming Control Board last week for inclusion in the "Black Book" -- a list of criminals and undesirables who have been banned from Nevada casinos for life.

Carmichael was a suspected ringleader of a gang that used and sold slot cheating devices and was developing a system that could rig machines remotely.

He and five other local residents were indicted on charges of running a nationwide cheating ring that authorities believe cost casinos at least $5 million.
