In June 2011, an anonymous tip led to the arrest of two Oklahoma residents by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribal Police after being observed by casino security personnel of using a device to manipulating gaming machines into paying larger payouts.[6] A subsequent investigation by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribal Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed that six individuals had been working together and traveled to the casino on 52 weekends between June 2009 and June 2011 stealing approximately $310,000 from the casino.[6] In October 2013, the six each pleaded guilty to a count of conspiracy to commit theft from a gaming establishment on Indian lands.[6] They were each sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert Holmes Bell on March 1, 2014.[6]
