looks like he was an a's fan
He prob hit a jackpot,and they turned him as ripping them off.........
These dufuses who rob casinos have no brains. Don't they realize there are cameras everywhere??? They'll catch this guy. Someone will either rat him out or....here's a novel idea - someone will recognize him from the SECURITY VIDEO!!!!!
Let's see...casino at Boulder Hwy and Desert Inn.
What a moron! He almost didn't get the gun out of his baggy pants, and probably almost shot himself in the crotch.
...SteveM:.....Boulder Highway, shocker...I gotta admit though , including this robbery, alot of this gets pretty predictable after a while..not so much a matter of "if" but more of a matter of "when" and "where"...This is probably no more than an Insurance write-off for the owners, but, the staff that handle money in these places on the odd shifts anymore sure do have a risky job.
Different in the days gone past, when "profiling" used to be referred to as " gut reaction" and wasn't political bias, it was just the way things were , plain and simple........
This genius didn't think about who he was robbing, he'd better pray the police get him first.
How much money can he get out of Dannys Slot Country? I use to work at Arizona Charlies Boulder and drove by Dannys every night, the most cars I seen in the parkinglot is four. Never knew how they stayed in business, but maybe I drove by wrong hours of the day.
BigB doesn't mention when it is a White perp in a crime, but he thinks that by pointing out when a perp isn't White he is making a point or political statement when, in fact, he is just showing his ignorance.
....LORDGLENMORE:
Days of old, not any more,Now, the owners will just file a couple reports with their Insurance and the IRS, call it a loss, and basically get their money back.
It isn't like in the days when this town was alot smaller before Corporate America took hold,
when the Owners of these joints actually lived here too and took great care in what happened in their establishments.
It will actually be a windfall for the casino, they will say he took 100X more than he did, nice, a robber helping a bigger robber rob.
Where was security? Anyone could walk in with a gun. They should have been better prepared.
I use to live in that area and had my car stolen... I later found out that two other cars were stolen from the apartment complex and a elderly woman had been raped (Village at Karen apt.)you do not know how happy I am to be out of there. I am not surprised that this happened. They must of had security guards who rode the short bus to school everyday at that place....I won't go there unless I feel like being robbed...THANKS!!!!
I believe that the MGM GRAND has been robbed twice this year at gun point they never caught those guys neither. Security at these hotels is not what it used to be' Back in the day you would lucky if you were not killed trying something stupid like this. (Anybody remember Binion's Horseshoe)
Looks like a typical government stimulus payment being processed.
I am very glad the cashier was not harmed, as these cashier cages need enclosed armored glass with more secured structures that are enclosed and more safety measures.
Can't believe he got away with it!! Just incredible!!

When you pay employees minimal wages, they couldn't care less if the robbers took them to the cleaners. They probably told him to hurry up, take it all and get out so they could take their lunch break.
I didnt know what property it was till i heard it on the news.Now had it been one of the big guys,it wouldnt have bothered me,but Danny's Slot Country.Thats just plain messed up!Hope this guy gets cheaters justice when he's caught!
There goes their 4th qtr profits.
I wonder why they never talk about the big casino's. You have people living on the edge. Young people seeing their family fall apart. The 52 percent increase at the DMV is a little jump in one year for example. We the little people are the once that are going to pay.
They have better cameras at ATMs. No wonder the Police are asking the public for a miracle id. The video is of little use. Doesn't anybody test these systems? How about a camera showing his FACE!
