Criminal Activities with a Gambling Backdrop

Being owned by thugs, the casinos were blamed for instigating crime. This thought had undergone a complete turnaround because today most of the crimes were committed against the casino or gambling outlets. Here are six cases on crimes scenes related to gambling that I had covered.

• Cheating the Casino with Edge Sorting
  The awareness of the eye in the sky had not deterred crooks from cheating the casino. A team of four involving two dealers attempted to cheat the casino with edge sorting, but they were caught after weeks of observation.
• Serial Cheaters at Casinos
  Cheating becomes more daring as it moves from casinos to casinos. A team tried to pull off a chip forgery scam by taking advantage of the camera's blind spot. Their suspicious activities were recorded and observation nailed down their plot.
• Violence at Betting Shops
  Sore losers will not hesitate to lash out their anger at the gambling machines. They would return with destructive tools such as hammer or axe to cause greater damage.
• Murdered at the Bookies
  The ferocity had got out of hand and it resulted in the death of a manager of a betting shop's employee. Such viciousness in the casino was unheard of during the thug-protected era.
• Arm Robbery at Betting Shop
  Since the casino is rich, it had attracted armed robbers.
• Cruelty for the Sake of Gambling
  This is unique case in which the crime is not against the casino. It is an account of a woman who neglected here 4-year-old daughter for the sake of gambling.

Now that the casino is a nice legal outfit, people dare to commit crime against the casinos. Facing the law is anytime better than the mobs. Regulatory changes had transformed the casinos into dominant institutions of capital and government.
