Casinos are essentially massive fortresses built specifically to guard one asset: mountains of hard cash. With the "eye in the sky" watching everything, highly trained security personnel, and complex vault systems, pulling off a casino heist appears to be a suicide mission. Yet, over the past few decades, a handful of highly organized crews and masterminds have managed to bypass the security and taken huge sums of money. These infamous robberies are stranger than fiction, involving elaborate disguises, high-speed getaways, and smooth talking.
+The Ultimate Disappearing Act: Walking Out with a Fortune +
One of the most famous unsolved thefts did not involve guns or masks. It was carried out by a single, trusted employee known as William Brennan. During the early 1990s, Brennan was a cashier at the Stardust sportsbook. On a completely normal day, he casually packed his bag with half a million dollars, carried it out, and simply walked out the front door. Because he was a trusted employee, no alarms were raised. The craziest detail is that he was never caught. Up to the present day, nobody has been located.
+The High-Tech Heist: The $32 Million Scam +
Many modern heists involve physically stealing cash from a vault. In 2013, the massive Crown Casino suffered a massive inside job totaling 32 million dollars. A high-rolling VIP player was playing at a private, high-stakes card table. At the exact same time, a remote hacker who accessed the casino's own surveillance cameras was telling the gambler about the dealer's cards via a wireless device. By hacking the surveillance, the VIP won hand after hand. The casino eventually noticed the massive statistical anomaly, but the high-tech nature of the crime made it one of the most unique heists in history.
