\tTRENTON, N.J. (AP) \u2014 Twice apparently wasn\u2019t enough for a northern New Jersey man when it came to bending the rules at the craps tables.<\/p>\n
\tLess than a month after his release from prison on an earlier conviction for cheating \u2014 his second since 2001 \u2014 Derek Bethea went back to Atlantic City last August. He put an illegal $1,100 bet at a craps table at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa after the winning number had already been determined, according to the state attorney general\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
\tOn Tuesday, a jury in Atlantic County convicted the 57-year-old Bayonne resident on two counts of third-degree swindling and cheating at a casino and a fourth-degree count of the same offense. He faces sentencing June 6.<\/p>\n
\tAccording to authorities, Bethea collected his winnings at the Borgata on Aug. 15 but was detained at the Tropicana Casino and Resort the next day and issued a summons.<\/p>\n
\tHe also was convicted of cheating at Resorts Casino Hotel on Aug. 30 and at Revel Casino Hotel on Aug. 31. Both casinos refused to pay those bets, according to authorities. Bethea was arrested Aug. 31 and has been held on $30,000 bail in Atlantic County since then.<\/p>\n
\tBoth third-degree counts carry a maximum five-year state prison sentence.<\/p>\n
