What is up with casinos being robbed in ways that could put even Hollywood to shame recently? As you may or may not recall, a Luton casino was recently robbed by a man in black who soon disappeared without a trace, leaving police desperate for clues. Now, another career criminal has actually managed to one-up the man in black’s disappearance act by throwing a gun into the mix. At 10 o’clock on Sunday, September 6th, a man entered the Easy Dough casino (which, may I add, has either the worst or best name for a casino ever, I can’t decide which) and demanded cash. When the dealers did the reasonable thing and said “Uh, how about no” while presumably stifling a giggle, the man pulled out a gun and made his demand somewhat more reasonable. After receiving an undisclosed sum of money, the man made his daring escape through the back, most likely to join the man in black from Luton for an ironic game of poker. Just like before, police have absolutely nothing on the man, with not even the security cameras capturing anything useful. Witnesses are describing a white male between 50 and 55, but that easily describes a few million people, so at the end of the day the mysterious perpetrator is probably going to get away with it. I don’t want to say anything, but don’t you think casinos should invest a little bit more in their security? It was cool when Danny Ocean did it, but these recent incidents are proving that pretty much anyone can storm into a casino, demand some cash and then disappear into the night. If the casinos had better cameras or more security systems in place perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. But that’s none of my business.
I guess you could say that the perpetrator… made some easy dough. (YEEEEAAAAH!)
