Alleged Slot Machine Predator Charged

(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City woman is accused of taking slot machine credits from another person and using those to play the slots for herself at Blue Chip Casino.

 

Maxine Moss, 36, is charged with Level 6 felony cheating at gambling and misdemeanor theft. Court documents say back in September, a woman at Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, momentarily left a slot machine after racking up $92 in credits, but returned to find her credits had been cashed out of the machine.

 

The investigation quickly led to Moss, who was located after allegedly spending down the credits at other slot machines. Police said there was just over $50 of the stolen credits left before she redeemed them in a kiosk at the casino for cash.

 

Court documents also revealed Moss had been evicted from the casino for 72 hours in April for allegedly committing a similar theft.  Moss was being held on a $605 bond, and had previously been arrested back in February for similar charges.
