How Bill Brennan Disappeared with Casino Cash
|
||||||
|
<br>The Stardust Casino robbery of 1992 remains one of the most intriguing unsolved crimes in Nevada. Bill Brennan, a low-key employee who had worked at the sportsbook for years, walked out of the door during a shift. He had filled a bag with exactly $500,000 in cash and high-value casino chips.

The Ritz London Roulette Scam: High-Tech Sector Targeting
|
||||||
|
<br>In 2004, a team of three players from Eastern Europe targeted the roulette wheels at the Ritz Casino in London. Instead of relying on chance, they utilized laser scanners hidden inside mobile phones to calculate ball speeds. The lasers scanned the speed of the spinning wheel and the ball to predict where the ball would land. They placed their bets in the final seconds before the dealer closed the round, winning £1.3 million over two nights. Although they were caught, a judge ruled they did not cheat because they did not interfere with the physical roulette equipment.<br>
