Coast man jailed on gaming charges

A Coast man is behind bars today, accused of trying to cheat at table games at local casinos.

The Mississippi Gaming Commission charged 45-year-old Terrell Lutin with four counts of gaming violations. He was taken to the Harrison County Jail and his bond is set at $20,000.

According to Gaming Enforcement Officer Jay McDaniel, Lutin is charged with past posting, which means he was trying to wager after the outcome of a game was determined.

McDaniel said Lutin is accused of trying to add chips to the bonus feature on a blackjack table after a winner had been determined.

He was taken into custody when he entered a casino property yesterday.

McDaniel said the offenses took place at more than one casino on the Coast and more charges could be added.

The investigation is ongoing.
