It must be very tempting for any of these dealers' in the casinos', to try and do this. There is so much security nowadays at these establishments, that it is near impossible to not get caught

That´s really amazing from the dealer to steal money from the casino where he worked. But normally the casino have a table manager to watch the staff. But perhaps the dealer want to play with the money in a other casino
It is sad to see such thing, I mean the casino gave the guy a chance to work there as I could imagine they had a lot applicants for any job in such casino and to do that is not a good move... but hey the world is full of unfaithful people so this is not the first one.

Not that i support them stealing in any way, or any amount, but why someone would risk a job with a steady income to get 10k. Plain stupid. Now the fine is at 250k plus he is facing a jail time. And the funny thing is that his "buddies" pleaded not guilty.

Yes me too think similar to Mober, why risk your job and regular money to only steal 10 thousands of dollars, yes it is not small money, but he probabky earns like this in 3 months, so is it a good rusk? I don't think so, nut if he steals 1 million then yes it is a good rusk

There's more going on here than we know. Of course it isn't worth a decent job to steal 10K. Maybe he actually stole more but they can't pin it on him. Maybe the other conspirators forced or blackmailed him into doing this.
We can never assume that the story we hear is the whole story, right?

The majority of casino croupiers are earning a modest income. They don't live a lavish lifestyle. Only a small portion of the croupiers makes more than $75,000 annually in the United States. That is the reality.
plus he is facing a jail time.
