The immense amount of cash flowing through casinos naturally attracts the world’s most ambitious criminals.

Today, surveillance systems are flawless, but in the past, clever thieves managed to walk away millions.

Bill Brennan and the Stardust Robbery

One of the most famous unsolved casino heists occurred in 1992 at the legendary Stardust Casino.

He was never seen or heard from again, becoming an enduring legend in Las Vegas lore.

• Bill Brennan vanished completely
• Security cameras missed the actual theft
• It remains a classic unsolved mystery

The Edge Sorting Controversy

Professional poker player Phil Ivey used a technique called “edge sorting” to beat the house.

Lengthy legal battles ensued, ultimately resulting in judges ruling that edge sorting constituted cheating.

The Crown Casino High-Tech Hack

The hacker used the surveillance cameras to look at the dealer’s cards during VIP games.

Information was then secretly relayed to the player at the table via a wireless earpiece.

While physical heists are incredibly rare today, cyber-attacks remain a modern threat to gambling operators.
