jmoore33 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmoore33 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSC Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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.

sweet16 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Would not be hard for someone to play around and wait to see a big winner then follow them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSC Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSC Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ask for a check instead of cash to take home. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSC Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Slick Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Use a P.O. Box, as your address for casino card. If they are following people home, use valet service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluto Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Slick Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
