    Calling any Casino owner the "good guys" is laughable at best.
  • When a amateur cheater rips off a entire city of professional cheats. All I can say is well done.
  • @GENKI_INU
    Honestly, respect for the first guy. If you HAD to steal anything, a casino would be the best place to least impact anyone, and who's money is dirty anyway.
  • @alr9967
    I’ve been in a casino one time. 33 years ago I think it’s heartwarming to hear stories about casinos getting ripped off. Truly a den of thieves.
  • @milk11111
    Calling casino guys "the good guys" is so wrong. Anybody who steals from the casino's is a hero in my book.
  • I'm having a difficult time mustering up sympathy for the casinos.
  • @MladenMijatov
    Love how everyone is like "we are going to get you because we are good" and then literally in every instance someone tipped them off. In first case they didn't even know they were getting scammed.

    “He wins cause he didn’t lose” most Vegas quote ever
  • @ChrisTessmer
    You know the world you live in is totally screwed when counterfeiting casino chips gets you higher bail than murder.
  • 'Winning big' being a red flag for the Casinos pretty much tells you all you need to know about gambling
  • @ihtfp004
    When Morikawa said his lifestyle changed to “eating out at nice restaurants” and smirked, I couldn’t help but laugh lol
  • @runkillorun2
    Over $1mil and they could only find $36k. Legend!
  • @Brayness
    5 million dollar bail for cheating at a casino is one of the grossest miscarriages of justice I've ever heard of
  • @millieatr
    Ten years ago I put money in a vending machine for a snickers bar .. To my surprise 2 snickers bars fell .. I'm still waiting for that knock at the door .
  • @curtisjackson6590
    He stole hundreds of thousands from the casino, then gave it all back at the tables. Poetic.
  • @WastedTalent-
    There was also a guy who worked for the Gaming Commission who's job was to inspect and program the slot machines to make sure they were running right. He figured out to program them to pay out with certain coin denonimation sequences. Like you play a dime, a penny, 2 quarters, a dime, and a quarter and you hit the jackpot.
  • Bail for making counterfeit chips is higher than murdering a person speaks VOLUMES on why our system is broken, shady & priorities are screwed up.
  • "Our state takes this very seriously" Placing someone robbing thieves above rapists and murderes says alot about NV.
  • @Dub-ry4cs
    If this guy did this alone, and he only cashed in like 2 or 3k a week, he could get away with it for life.
  • @andregenter4213
    „You can replace a lot, buy can’t replace time“ that got me 😢
