A pair of crooked casino croupiers and their friend pocketed £23,000 after working out a way to fix a roulette wheel. Craig Walker and Daniel Johnson - who worked at Coral Island casino in Blackpool, Lancashire - rigged the wheel so that ball would stay in the same slot and win their friend Kevin Traynor thousands of pounds, which they then split between them. After their scam was uncovered by casino bosses, the three men admitted fraud and the two croupiers have now been jailed. Preston Crown Court heard Walker, 26, and Johnson, 29, were working together on a quiet shift at the casino when they discovered it was possible to perform a 'no spin' on the wheel - fixing it so the ball stayed in the same slot.Two croupiers fixed it so that ball stayed in the same slot on wheelThey signalled to their friend so that he could increase his stakesThe trio were caught when casino boss examined CCTV of tableThree men all admit fraud and the two croupiers have been jailed
