This week, Judge Diane Hanson ordered Christensen to repay $18,720 to the Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake. In addition to the repayment order, the twenty-four year old must also serve three years of probation and serve eighty hours of community service.

There were several incidents in which players were losing their hands, but Christensen was paying the gamblers as if they had won. The authorities started to connect the instances, and eventually Christensen was arrested and charge3d with gambling fraud and theft by swindle.
