Charles Oakley is learning the hard way ... if you try to cheat a Vegas casino, you'll end up behind bars. TMZ Sports has learned ... the ex-NBA star was arrested at the Cosmopolitan on July 8 after allegedly trying to pull a fast one during a gambling session -- and it was all caught on video. Officials from the Nevada Gaming Board tell us Oakley "was suspected of adding to or reducing his wager on a gambling game after the outcome was known." Unclear what game he was playing at the time -- but one source with knowledge of the incident says Oak tried to pull back a $100 chip after he realized he was going to lose. FYI, Oakley reportedly made more than $46 mil during his NBA career.

The laws in Vegas must be different. Something like this happened EVERY day in the 2 casinos I worked. At worst the person would be banned for a couple months. I used to joke with other employees that no harm can come from attempting to cheat so you might as well give it a shot. That said I wonder how much he has lost if he is trying to cheat $100. Pathetic.

was hoping it was some diabolical plan that didn't pan out. That dealer, pit boss floor supervisory, gaming manager AND the cameras just barley noticed a 6-8 guy stick out his big paw to pull back a chip from the middle of the table.
