All that for $3,300 dollars?? People are sick. BTW, you already know who did this..

[from occupied ga]

Marcus, Roman guy?

Casinos and race tracks used to have the option to pick up your winnings at a later date. I don't know if they still offer this.

[heartwood]

This is happening frequently.

Can you deposit your winnings directly to your bank account instead of taking cash?

Would that help, or would the robbers just try forcing people to withdraw money?

Yeah, 3G is not a lot in terms of casino jackpots. I can see why people might let their guard down. People just don’t know how bad it is out there. I once won $800 at a casino and made it a point to keep walking around before leave. Maybe I was being paranoid but it seemed like there were a couple of people watching me from a distance. They were separated from each other but and trying to keep position between me and the doors but trying not to be obvious. All that just for $800? I guess they consider it a score even at that level. How much drugs can you buy with that?

[dfwgator]

Bet you somebody working at the casino tipped them off.

This happens at banks when someone makes a large withdrawal.

[Yo-Yo]

I wonder if the couple even had the money on them. Don’t Casinos usually pay with a check and withhold taxes on sums that large?

[Clutch Martin]

Ask any coin dealer or bullion dealer at coin shows and they’ll tell you some stories. When they pack their vehicles up after a show they never stop until they get back to a safe area, they take circuitous routes, armed, go pro etc...

"The two alleged perps had watched the couple gamble and play the slots for roughly two hours before tailing them home"

"Hey, Tristin. Let's watch that couple for a couple of hours. I just KNOW they are going to win big tonight. Then we can tail them home and rob them."

"Marcus, you be genius, man! Great plan. I'm in!"

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

Yep! The usual suspects! Amish. < sarcasm>

[ABStrauss]

Black as the ace of spades.

[RummyChick]

a friend of mine was telling me about a guy who just won a huge jackpot and asked for the payoff in chips. Something like a million bucks. they used $25k chips. even if you get security to take you to your car you have to worry about people following you.

[traditional2]

RACIST! Black perps, as usual? Whoda thunk?

[BradtotheBone]

The Perps

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Just wow. They didn’t notice black guys watching them? Really? Too much to drink?
