Two IT contractors have admitted using their insider knowledge to cheat casinos out of thousands of pounds by printing false winning betting slips.
The pair stole more than £33,000 by infiltrating software controlling remote betting machines which covered roulette wheels at four London casinos.
Andrew Owen Ashley, 30, Nimesh Bhagat, 31, both from London, admitted theft between July and September 2007.
They received 12 month suspended prison sentences at Croydon Crown Court.

BBC News, Moscow
Illegal gambling has spread rapidly across Russia since a new law came into force last July banning casinos and slots machines in towns and cities, according to a senior police officer in an exclusive interview with the BBC.
Col Oleg Bolderov of the economic crimes department of the Russian police said they had carried out thousands of raids over the past eight months.
"We have closed down 70 casinos and 4,000 slot-machine arcades… and have brought 600 criminal cases against those trying to organise this (illegal gambling)," he said.

Another story from the BBC:
With just weeks to go until a controversial new law on casinos takes effect in Georgia, health workers in the capital, Tbilisi, say they have uncovered a worrying link between gambling and drug addiction. Tom Esslemont reports.
It’s the middle of the afternoon and Tbilisi’s busiest casino, the Ajara, is already packed with gamblers.
It is full of grizzled chain-smoking men. They sit hunched at tables under gaudy crystal chandeliers chatting over the din of lounge music and the constant whirl of roulette wheels.
Managers at the Ajara say they receive 1,100 clients every day.
