Casino in Malta robbed

Tags: Casino di Venezia, malta, poker, robbers, speedboat.
Posted on 04 February 2010 by "K".

Casino di Venezia in Malta was yesterday robbed by 5 armed men who demanded cash from the casino workers. The 5 robbers got away with around €100,000 (probably much more) and then escaped on a speedboat. After that the police heard about the robbery, they rushed to casino with cars, boats and helicopters looking for the robbers speedboat. However, the only thing they have found so far is a car in the sea, which they believe was used by the 5 robbers.

The Swedish Championship of poker is supposed to be played at Casino di Venezia in April this year. Let's hope that this wont effect the tournament and that they will find the 5 robbers as soon as possible.

Hmm... Lucily i'm playing only online. So this can't happen with me.


Lmao, never heard of hackers? Collusion? Cheaters? Anything can happen to anybody, even if you DO have antivirus and firewall.
The odds are small, but who says "it can't happen to me" is an ignorant donk Big Smile

people stay in a casino for hours to get few money (or to loose it) and those go there for few minutes to take a big pot... is that what they call nice ship?

Probably decided that banks were to hard, armoured cars to risky and convenience stores not worth the effort.

Yesterday the popular Malta casino, Casino di Venezia was robbed by a gang of masked men. The exact amount that was taken is unknown. But local rumors are saying that the sum exceeds over €500,000. Police is still searching for the robbers.

I think it'll cause more casinos to tighten their security. Maybe have an x-ray for those that walk in to look out for knives and guns :O

I guess casinos has as much money (if not more) as banks these days.

 SuperNoob05/02/2010 15:20:08 GMT
lol how can people play at that casino again now when they know anytime someone can come in a speedboat and go away with the money?
they'll have to greatly increase security measures to get their business even half close to normal.
 Davoodoo05/02/2010 16:44:11 GMT

Luckily no one tried to play hero and got shot ... just give them the money and catch them later Blink

this is pretty bad if casinos are getting robbed, but for a casino to lose the 100K is not that bad and they will get it back in no time.

There insurance will cover it, This day and would not surprise me if it was a inside job, was not long ago in the 60,s and 70,s most casinos were owned by the mafia, remember those days, I remembered When I was a kid I saw security at a casino in Vegas throw a person out the window and being all blodied up, I was like 10 and did that scare the heck out of me as a kid
 ZmxPowah07/02/2010 14:55:20 GMT

My home city with only 50.000 people had a robbery almost every day last week, so what is the big news about a robbery in Malta? I hope they find the people who robbed the casino but it is not that big news Cool

as somebody else said "how sad, a casino getting robbed" *rolls eyes

pfft so long as the people in the casino weren't robbed, so long as just the casino is robbed. Who gives a shit, what an abhorrent business to run anyway.
