Richard S. Taylor is the main man behind the Foxwoods Casino Cheating scam trial. Taylor is accused of conspiracy charges as he was the driving force behind a cheating scam at Foxwoods which involved dealers at the casino. Last Tuesday Taylor turned the court room into a craps table as he demonstrated his ‘strategy’ for winning the game while denying the conspiracy charges.

Several former employees of Foxwoods have testified over the past few days stating that Taylor recruited them to cheat. Taylor supposedly sent players to the dealer’s tables and then the dealers would help them cheat to win and they all would share the money.

Taylor denied that he was a cheater and stated that he came to the casino as a professional gambler who possessed a winning system in craps. To prove his point, Taylor created a craps table that jurors stood next to so they could see him prove his point. Taylor rolled a pair of red and white dice provided by Foxwoods while he showed his strategy on a projector.
While Taylor rolled the dice his attorney explained Taylor’s written strategy to the jury.

Taylor’s strategy involves combinations of numbers which go with other numbers. For example if you roll a four then there are certain numbers that will go with that number that players should bet on.

Taylor explained that no one can know the exact number that will come up but if they learn the parameters of the numbers that will come up then the player can win. It will be interesting to see if Taylor’s demonstration will be able to sway the jury in his favor or if it will not make a difference in the outcome of the trial.
