If you obtain money or other personal property from someone via three-card monte or any other game, sleight-of-hand, fortunetelling or any other means using cards or other devices and implements, you may be charged as a larceny, leaving you open to a various amount of charges, including misdemeanors and felonies.

If you cheat someone out of money or property, you may be charged with a third-degree felony, which is punishable by up to five years of imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $5,000. If this is not your first felony, you may be charged under the state’s multiple felony offender statute, thereby incurring additional incarceration time and/or fees.
