The Sandra Vaccaro "Bonus" If you have heard about John Joseph Vaccaro, Jr. being the mastermind of a group of slot machine cheaters, then you surely must have heard of Sandra Vaccaro as well. Sandra could have been anything she wanted to be. But when she married then-carpenter, John Joseph Vaccaro, Jr., things took on a course down the winding road of crime. Her husband became the mastermind behind a series of slot machine cheating all over Nevada. And John Joseph solicited the help of his wife in this string of illegal events. Pretty soon, their team was joined by other members, and grew to become one of the largest  gang of slot cheaters to have graced the light and sounds of the casinos. Abandoning John Joseph’s career as a carpenter, the duo focused on honing their slot cheating scams. Pretty soon, they were able to enlist the help of people working for the casinos they planed to bump off. And this did not stop at that level at all. It went to an all-new higher level in such a short span of time. Sandra Vaccaro and her husband started enlisting the help of the managers of the casinos themselves. At that time, this was not that hard to do at all. The practice then was that people who wanted to play the slots were given numbers to hold on to. This was a priority number or status of sorts. All the managers had to do was pretend to call out a certain priority or status number. The person who has that number would then be allowed to play the slots. So, when the manager supposedly calls out the priority number of one of the Vaccaro’s men. The assigned man would then get the slot machine that has been rigged earlier. Sandra Vaccaro’s conviction earned her the title of being the only woman who made it into the List of Excluded Persons also known as the black book. Presently, Sandra is now focused on the carpentry business she and her husband share which is quite a leap from being an expert slot machine cheater, which earned her millions and millions of dollars.  It seems that having a career to fall back on paid dividend for this couple in crime.
