The key to an illegal gambling kingdom was a computer that authorities say was owned by a professional poker player named James Giordano. Giordano unknowingly took a gamble earlier this year by leaving it in a hotel room while attending a wedding. While he was away, investigators armed with a search warrant and computer expertise copied the hard drive. The operation helped unlock a billion-dollar-a-year gambling scheme that rivaled casino sports books and led to charges against 27 people, authorities said.

Giordano, who rarely let the computer out of his sight, unknowingly took a gamble earlier this year by leaving it behind while attending a wedding, police said Wednesday.
