Dated American criminal slang for a cardsharp — a skilled card cheat who uses sleight of hand, marked decks, or other tricks to fleece other players at the card table. The 'big mitt' likely references the sleight-of-hand dexterity required, as if the cheat's hands (mitts) were doing most of the dishonest work.
