Well, the only thing I can say is that this is Sweden. It's not like in that movie Casino, with Robert DeNiro, where they break your hands and kneecaps and stuff if you try to cheat the casino.

The news don’t say, but they should probably be higher personnel from the casino, I can’t imagine someone from the rooms working out to steal more than cards or chips (or perhaps some drinks… . And its interesting to see that looks like this scheme had more women than men…
It seems to me that these people did not want to share with anyone that their profits were not legal, because the police have evidence? where they are, but it's good that these people have work to do because honestly, the more the casino)
