Li would fan the cards to himself, memorize the cards, and communicate the sequence to Zhang, leading to their joint conviction for cheating and swindling.
The pair were found guilty of cheating during two games of baccarat in 2019, illegally winning about $15,000, according to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office.
Li, an Encore baccarat dealer, and Zhang, a player, were each sentenced to one year in prison but with suspended sentences under specific conditions.
Baccarat is a card game where players bet on which of two hands will be closer to nine, a game that can be manipulated through cheating.
