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

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

The Edge Sorting Controversy

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

The Crown Casino High-Tech Hack

In 2013, the Crown Casino in Melbourne was the victim of an incredibly high-tech heist.
