Yonkers Raceway's promotions manager has reportedly been indicted on charges of grand larceny and scheming to fraud after allegedly arranging for friends and relatives to win contests that included cash prizes.
Donna Cronin, 44, was indicted on allegations that she and two co-defendants at the track's casino area, known as Empire City Gaming, helped acquaintances win prizes such as cash, flat-screen TVs, laptop computers and tickets to Broadway shows. The Westchester District Attorney said the scheme involved the defendants telling their acquaintances when to play certain slot machines with their player's reward card inserted in the machine to win.
Cronin was accused of allegedly taking in $100,000, with Alicia Murray, 31, allegedly taking $35,000 and Terence Osborne, 24, taking $15,000. The acquaintances will not be charged because of their cooperation with authorities in building the case against the three Yonkers employees.
