The investigation into Charles Oakley allegedly cheating at a Las Vegas Poker table revealed additional instances of cheating.
According to TMZ Oakley, who was arrested in July, was caught on surveillance video cheating three times while playing Texas Hold’Em.
Here’s the deal … Oakley was playing the Ultimate Texas Hold’Em table game — where both player and dealer get 2 cards, in addition to a community 5-card draw.
Of the 7 cards in play, the dealer and player use their best 5 cards to see who has the best hand.
During the first hand, Oakley started off strong … with a pair of 4s. But, the dealer ended up with a winning hand … 2 pair. When Oakley realized he was gonna lose, he allegedly pulled back a $100 chip from his bet.
Later on during the gambling session, Oakley had a monster hand — 3 of a kind — and this time, officials say he secretly ADDED chips to his bet on 2 different occasions during the hand, thereby increasing his payout by $125.
Officials say it was all captured on casino surveillance — and he was arrested on the spot.
Get this … officials say Oakley can’t claim ignorance as an excuse because he apparently has logged around 119 HOURS playing the game at the Cosmo.
Oakley’s original felony charge was recently reduced to disorderly conduct.
