Its like an everyday crime now that someone robs a casino. I know that in Estonia it has happened more than few times alsol, but the amounts being robbed are totally different. If it was only slot machines casinos that were robbed I relly would not gaf , but if there were poker tables aswell, then I do hope they will catch those robbers!

I agree on don't having pity for the casinos. They don't have pity for you when you lost a fortune there. I just don't know how can these guys rob a casino and get away with all that security. Maybe an inside job?
