Tuesday morning a guy decided to go ob the ballagio, at 2.50am he pulled up on his bike, he went over to the craps table and demanded money with a gun, no one got hurt and no shoots were fired but he managed to pick up around 1.5mill in chips ranging from $25,000 to $100 in value. It seams like they are becoming a soft target, but he will struggle to cash them chips however im sure he will manage to sell some at a good price, i precdice at least a 100k win fall....So any one fancy going the bellagio next week?? I got a spare hellmet.
Those were playchips...Now he will try to sell them through some pokerforum... Just be on the lookout. The next who offers playchips here is probably the robber.

well the interesting stuff is, that the robbery wont have such a huge effect as the chips (at leas the bigger ones) are marked and it will be recognized when they are getting into game again....

Whats 100k for Ballagio owners?? half day profit maybe, nothing special. They would be more afraid if there is somebody manipullating the black jacks games.
Incredible, that's incredible... thought that Bellagio would have upgrade their security system much better... and I thank god that innocents were not hurt or even worst killed

This is the guy.
I´d like to take you up on the offer (the second helmet), but don´t you think it´s getting a bit crowded in the Bellagio lately? We might have to wait in line.

I read about this and actually my buddies and i were just at a local casino here in Canada, and if that guy got away with robbing the bellagio id hate to see what he can do here. Chips just thrown about every where.
