Does anyone here like to gamble?

I find the 33 Million Dollar rip off to be unreal!

It is interesting that they say they have banned him from the casino but what about pressing charges and going after the 33 Million?

I was shocked to find this story sitting on the front banner of the US MSN web site the other day, seems it made more headlines over there than here.

This could have being happening in casinos all over the world for years, but no one will ever know about it until someone is actually caught.

At least crown has learned its lesson the hard way. Apparently there is very little the casino can do to get its money back.

TVC15, I am in Australia, I am not a gambler and I love stories of monkey wrenching.
