Las Vegas Dice

There’s one big fear among every high-stakes poker player who leaves a casino with a sizable amount of a cash on them: robbery. It’s happened before: Doyle Brunson was the victim of a memorable home in version back in 1998 after coming home after playing in the World Series of Poker in which the crooks got away with $4,000 in cash and $80,000 in chips. It’s one of the reasons many casinos offers security to help people get to their cars after events and cash games. On New Year’s Eve, police in Oceanside, CA found themselves investigating a robbery outside of the Ocean’s Eleven Casino that had an interesting twist.

The robber only demanded $1.

The victim, who went unnamed in the police report, informed police that the robber told him that he had a gun in his waistband and that he wanted a single dollar from him or things would go badly. The victim, perhaps emboldened by the bluffing going on at Ocean’s Eleven’s tables, didn’t give follow the robber’s demands and the suspect fled empty-handed.

The would-be robber was gone when police arrived, and officers had not found him Saturday evening, police Lt Sean Marchand told the local press.
