NBA gambling-mafia poker scandal rocks basketball world
Orissa POST
|October 25, 2025
Federal indictments have detailed a sophisticated poker cheating ring with alleged ties to National Basketball Association (NBA) figures and organised crime October 23, 2025.
The scam reportedly used high-tech methods, including X-ray tables and tricked-out machines, alongside traditional poker signals, defrauding players in illegal games. These con tactics, federal authorities claim, are as old as poker itself, reminiscent of heist movies and James Bond films.
Underground poker games, operating with the backing of mafia families, are illegal. However, indictments highlight their ‘extra illegal nature, distinguishing them from conventionally illicit games where the poker itself remains fair.
