An accomplice sitting directly at the table was secretly wearing a tiny earpiece, receiving real-time, perfect information about the cards from the remote hackers.
Stealing $1.5 Million in Chips
Not all heists are subtle; in 2010, an armed robber executed a terrifyingly fast, incredibly audacious smash-and-grab directly on the floor of the luxurious Bellagio casino.
The "Biker Bandit" was eventually caught and arrested when he desperately attempted to sell the deactivated, worthless chips to an undercover police officer in an online forum.
