The son of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels was sentenced to three months in federal prison Friday for his role in conspiring to cheat the Nooksack River Casino out of more than $90,000.
Jacob Nickels was one of 24 people charged in May in connection with a multistate casino-cheating scheme in which bribed employees dealt pre-recorded, unshuffled playing cards.
Teams of swindlers, led by members of a San Diego-area family, fanned out to 18 casinos around the country to execute the "false shuffle" scam in games of blackjack and mini-baccarat.
Prosecutors say the ring cheated casinos out of millions of dollars. The Emerald Queen Casino near Fife lost $868,000 in one game.
Nickels, 26, was a pit boss at the Whatcom County tribal casino in 2005 when he accepted $5,000 to introduce one of the conspirators to willing dealers, according to court records.
With his father watching from the gallery, Nickels told U.S. District Judge John Coughenour that getting involved in the scam was "the biggest mistake of my life."
He pleaded guilty in August to a felony conspiracy charge in a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.

yep, in WA that's the real crime.
He “nickeled and dimed” the Indian casino?
Ooohhh...thats bad
I had to re-read that one.
Bump
Great news, hopefully he will actually serve some time.
(wishful thinking, surely to be disappointed)
Thank you for posting :-)
When we lived in Seattle, my son dated a girl for awhile who was part Nooksack. The hilarity in the radiohead household continues to ensue at just the mention of 'Nooksack.'
He's gonna have to keep those protected when he goes to the big house.
Democrat
lol. no kidding. a jail filled with everyone his father liberated.
Same mayor that scared kids about the North Pole melting due to global warming.
And yet only charged with conspiring to steal $90,000? Tell me his daddy didn't have influence. Of course, want to make him eligible to continue to vote. Oh, wait, felons do vote in King County.
Mayor Nickels BFF, King County Executive Ron Sims’ son had a run in with the law too. I think it was drugs. Anyone remember?
These things are always a “mistake”. Oops, I broke the law! Nobody is ever guilty of anything more than a faux pas. Whatever happened to calling a crook a crook?
I gotta learn how to post pictures. This story would go great with some stills from the family Guy episode involving the Indian casino.
;’}
I can’t find sympathy for anyone involved.
Bog, get a photobucket account, and upload anything there.
then, take note of the tags under the pic after you upload it. click on the tag that says HTML. it automatically copies. then, right click here and paste.
voila!!
Wonder how much time he will receive for good behavior.
Exactly 90 days, I am sure.
No pity here.
