June 29, 201016 yr Did you catch the news about the man robbed at his own house after he won $5000 at the poker room at Hollywood casino. It was reported that this is the 20th time this has happened to a winner leaving the casino. They are investaging the rooberies. You have to think there are employees of Hollywood that are in on this. I hope they catch everyone involved. I do not go much but I have friends and family members that go a lot and I worry this will happen to them. If you go be careful. It looks like they follow you home and then rob you at gun point. http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/region_central_cincinnati/man-robbed-in-his-own-garage
June 29, 201016 yr Heard about this on the radio today, hope they definitely figure out what is going on as well. I don't go to often, but I do have a friend or two who are there quite regularly.
June 29, 201016 yr Author Good thing I never win. No doubt. I want to put it on the record that I never leave with any cash. I always think the next hand is the big winner. Which is why I never go much.
June 29, 201016 yr If there really have been more than 10 of these happen it needs to be a news story. Those are just comments from posters. I'd be very interested in knowing if that's true. My guess would be someone is tipping off the robbers of the address rather than simply being followed.
June 30, 201016 yr Would not be hard for someone to play around and wait to see a big winner then follow them out.
June 30, 201016 yr Would not be hard for someone to play around and wait to see a big winner then follow them out. Would be even easier for a pit boss to call his buddies w/ an address
July 6, 201016 yr I've heard this robbery was the 16th such robbery. If that is true the news stations hsould be reporting it as a bigger story.
July 6, 201016 yr I've heard this robbery was the 16th such robbery. If that is true the news stations hsould be reporting it as a bigger story. You right. Patrons should know what is going on.
July 6, 201016 yr Ask for a check instead of cash to take home. Problem solved. The safety of the customers is what should be the focus, but getting a check cut would probably reduce your risk. Good idea.
July 6, 201016 yr Use a P.O. Box, as your address for casino card. If they are following people home, use valet service.
July 9, 201016 yr Keep a gun in your glove compartment, that's legal whether or not you have a concealed carrier permit.
July 9, 201016 yr Step 1: Keep a gun in your glove compartment, that's legal whether or not you have a concealed carrier permit. Step 2: Don't be afraid to use it.
July 20, 201016 yr I was there Sunday and this topic was brought up and people there said many of things we have in this thread, as to how not to let this happen.
