Calling any Casino owner the "good guys" is laughable at best.
That’s loser talk. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Do your Research before you start spouting liberal garbage out of that filthy diaper stained mouth of yours. The casinos run this gongshoe
@@sludge8506 ur loser talk
Agreed, it's honestly disgusting
Yep, I got 30 seconds into this and had enough. Casinos are good guys? No, no, no, not putting up with that utter bullshyt.
Calling casino guys "the good guys" is so wrong. Anybody who steals from the casino's is a hero in my book.
Amen
They fix too so there is no difference...
All casinos are thief too they have fix everything.
I agree.
Exactly! The greed of the casinos are the reason these guys do this t begin with! they create gambling addiction and they do this for money,they care nothing for you,they could care less if you lost your house kids wife etc..They are no different from any drug dealer and they know it! Evil scum just as this government is as well the system we are all under is worse than any criminal could ever be!
I feel so bad for Morikowa. He actually seems like a genuinely good dude. His stupid partner just had to go and pillow talk with a sheisty prostitute. The resourcefulness and creativity of people who cheat Vegas absolutely amazes me
Some women get very jealous she probably wanted in, too, got flicked off so the prostitute talked!
Yeah. Sometimes scammers impress me. So much outside the box type thinking. My mind rarely ever goes to the "let's do this illegal thing"
Maybe I'm brainwashed
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.
Poor casinos 🥲
@@ThatBreadDude ikr, what would the world do without them? surely not having broke gamblers will be bad right?
@@somone1437 they are business wanting to make money
@@ThatBreadDude would you describe a drug dealer that way? Just let him be, because he's only trying to make money (regardless of how many lives end up ruined in the process)?
@@Corn0nTheCobb I would describe casinos as drug dealers. They're dealing what effectively amounts to a drug, gambling, which exploits the very same neural circuitry as drugs of abuse.
When a amateur cheater rips off a entire city of professional cheats. All I can say is well done.
How exactly do casinos cheat?
@@thebellcurve3437 In black jack , if someone is smart enough an can do the math in their heads. They can beat the casino, but if the casino just thinks they’re doing that, they’ll stop their play an bar them. That’s cheating.
@@thebellcurve3437 when you start beating the casino legally, they stop you from playing. That's how they cheat.
@@gamesguy LOL so you're totally changing the definition of "cheat" to suit your point of view. You're literally redefining words so that your opinion makes sense. Nice.
@@thebellcurve3437 I'm using the casino's own standard. If a player wins, they ban him. So by their own standard they're cheaters because the casinos win consistently.
I'm having a difficult time mustering up sympathy for the casinos.
They dont deserve it.
Anyone who steals from a casino is doing Gods work
As someone who was a CSM for a few years I agree 100%!!!
We share the same mindset.
Communism
Casinos are predatory, but anyone that grabs that many 25k chips is an idiot
Edit: Personally I wouldn’t have grabbed more than 5 of the 25k chips, would of focused on the 5k ones
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.
Yep. Even then...if he stayed solo, and kept to lower denominations of chips, there's no telling how long he could have milked that.
Lol!!!!
its the same in normal crime, the one to act first has the advantage.
When Morikawa said his lifestyle changed to “eating out at nice restaurants” and smirked, I couldn’t help but laugh lol
why ?? he's a good kid let him have it
@@alainportant6412nah bro you don’t get it. He just wasn’t gonna say all the COKE they was doing on TV 😂
Eating out
@@Doppelganger31 it also has that other meaning
'Winning big' being a red flag for the Casinos pretty much tells you all you need to know about gambling
I mean, if security would consider 'losing big' they'd never catch a cheater... Well, perhaps that biker wannabe who was so desperate for attention. So yeah, obviously they will check big spenders and big winners to see if anything suspicious happened. Much like how police would only conduct a homicide investigation once they have the suspicion that a murder took place, makes no sense to investigate a casino customer that hasn't won anything.
@@someguy4915 Understandable. I'm just highlighting that casinos are rigged and the house knows it, so ppl are supposed to lose majority of the time. When ppl actually do win, casinos look for any type of way to nullify or discontinue payment. Even if the person is legitimately winning, like when places in Vegas banned Dana White from blackjack.
You said that exactly right
Fk em i worked at a casino in 2014.. i stole 25k from em.
@@diabolivirtusen-tavares-ea4645 my friend, take lessons learned from this video... never keep condemning evidence in your house and never talk about anything bad you've done
You know the world you live in is totally screwed when counterfeiting casino chips gets you higher bail than murder.
Amen brother!
Took the words right out of my mouth.
They consider that a higher crime then killing a regular person
No stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars deserves a higher bail than a murder due to the fact a murderer doesn't deserve bail
@@freedomisfromtruthno they don't. That's why murder gets you a longer prison decision depending on the form of murder. Lol
He stole hundreds of thousands from the casino, then gave it all back at the tables. Poetic.
The term "cheater hall of fame" just kills me 😂😂😂.
5 million dollar bail for cheating at a casino is one of the grossest miscarriages of justice I've ever heard of
Showing sympathy for a filthy cheat…you can do better!
@@christopher7763 casinos are made to rip people off. They are traps and deserve it
Worse was the guy who rigged slot machines, they busted him for stealing $30, and he got 5 YEARS IN PRISON.
Thats what happens when the casinos fund your city
@@christopher7763 Casinos are the cheat my friend. Anyone that steals from them are Robin hood in my book
This always amazes me. Casinos can rig the machines to rip you off constantly but if you take back, they get all upset.
I mean thats any business tho lol
Yup
"take back" lol. They faked chips, it's not that they counted cards or something similar. And casinos are a legit business. You go there for having a great time and be entertained. If you go to movies you also leave the house with less money
@@CARPital Yes, much less money if you buy popcorn.
@@CARPital "casinos are a legit business" thats a hot take
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.
That’s a big statement but yeah
He would of eventually been caught. You would have to look out for a new cashier if you wanted to do this. As a experienced dealer I have gotten a fake chip once we can tell by the feel with chips and money immediately if it’s fake.
@@Nick-ql6ov there are lots of casinos, and people to cash in with. If he only went for a couple grand a month, nobody is going to remember him. He could get away with it for a long time. There’s always risk obviously but if he were smart, he’d of lasted a long time.
Wouldn't they notice him winning and watch the film ... That would prove he wasn't winning anything just cashing in chips ?
@@razorburns8651 I think some people save the chips they won from previous times and bring them back in.
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.
Casino enforcer saying "He's a dirtbag" about someone is a diamond-level irony.
I mean, people voluntarily enter casinos. Casinos don’t break into your home and take money from your wallet.
@@colemoniz they find many ways to manipulate people
@@woodforthetrees3496 you’re welcome to explain?
@@colemoniz Conmen don't forcibly rob you, but they still rob you.
@@colemoniz what point were you thinking of getting across with this comment? yikes
"Our state takes this very seriously"
Placing someone robbing thieves above rapists and murderes says alot about NV.
funny how serious politicians get when you bribe them
exactlty what i was thinking lol. was like lady you shouldnt be saying that with so much confidence
Anyone can r*pe or rob but only folks with true talent can manage to fool a casino. Casinos literally have MILLIONS of dollars at stake to prevent it from happening.
@@WeatherWeasel66 I'm not going to feel bad for a business who has no issue taking millions of dollars of a person but as soon as a player wins more than 50G sometimes 30, they ban you for life. It's a business but then be honest and force casino's to admit when they ban players that doesn't cheat. Simply are better than the casinos.
@@dcworld4349 They don't take anything. It's given to them
“He wins cause he didn’t lose” most Vegas quote ever
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.
Is there a docu on that?
Yes, A show called "Masterminds" did a episode and it was good.
Believe it is still on UA-cam
That was Brad Pitt 😂
Bail for making counterfeit chips is higher than murdering a person speaks VOLUMES on why our system is broken, shady & priorities are screwed up.
Right I have seen crazy long sentences and bail for financial crimes 😳 Russian gang member caught in Las Vegas doing time In orange county CA lol and his Co conspirator. They had it pretty sweet in there
Bail isn't just based on how severe the crime was its also based on how much you can afford. And these guys obviously had a bunch of money.
This is all made up stuff....you tube is filled with fake stories....

Every day I make it my goal to remain listless.
if Morikawa had stayed lone wolf the whole time, he would never get caught.
he has the perfect attitude of doing criminal activity, careful and secretive. it's just his partner that's a liability.
i don't know what's worse... the idiot partner telling some vegas stripper about the scheme, or the stripper narcing despite being paid. I'm leaning toward the former, but not by too much.
the second I heard about the second dude I was like oh, you dumbass. and then I heard he got the whole crew in on it and at that point you're just asking to get arrested
His partner was a drug addict and a big mouth....Morikawa picked the wrong partner...
Never have partners
Jesse and Walt vibes
Good strategy
Tell the dealer you want to rob the place
The first story with the woman who blackmailed them and then ultimately blabbed anyway is an excellent reminder as to why if one is partaking in crime, one should always set some money aside not only for a lawyer, but a hitman as well! (to ensure things go smoothly in the worst case)
😂😂
nasty vicious ho
Or just dont blab. No need for extra jail time
@@bartholomewlyonsblabbing is another way to say, look at me, I'm smart. To even tell someone you don't even know and has a boyfriend 👀something like that........says you're interesting.
Work alone and never ever tell somebody. Don't ramp up your live style. This guy could be retired as well respected millionaire.
These guys are heroes IMO. Casinos prey on human misery and anyone who gets one over them is a bloody legend.
Guess I'm a legend
My wife and I have enjoyed recreational gambling as a hobby for 30 years. No one is "preying" on us. No one is forcing anyone to gamble in a casino. People lose all their money in the stock market, which is basically legalized gambling. People eat themselves into an early grave with McDonald's, they drink themselves to death etc, etc, etc. You name an activity, someone is doing it compulsively in addiction. Should we outlaw cigarettes, alcohol, and fast food? I don't know which I find more distasteful - the pearl-clutching "ban all sin" from conservatives, or the "we must protect weak people from themselves" from liberals.
What a cynical pov. You poor victim, you.
@@gregoryschmidt1233 yea I've been a drug addicted thief for 30+ years. Nobody is preying on me right lmao 🤣 not the drug dealers huh? They just offering a service for the community & it's children if they so desire lololololol.
I see it now, gambling & drug use are one in the same with no victims what so ever
@@gregoryschmidt1233 gambling is an inherently designed to prey on people who are susceptible to addiction that's the issue. Fast food, alcohol, cigarettes are not. Yes fast food and alcohol have advertising but the very nature in which casinos / book makers attempt to reel you in with free bets, offers, VIP services just doesn't compare to other things people get addicted to.

They should have got the Lady to use chips she would,paid her in chips she would be liable also.
I remember when biker bandit was posting that he had cranberries in the forums. People were like "no thanks" and "see you on the news!"
Over $1mil and they could only find $36k. Legend!
For every good scam that’s well thought out, there’s also a person involved that’s so stupid and ruins it
The brains of the operation is who kept quiet and the stupid one is who ruined it.
Just the ones you hear about.
Yup like the Bellagio bandit. Dude tried selling his cranberries online and told the seller he was the bandit. He also told a blackjack dealer “man it would be easy to grab a handful of those cranberries and run out of here” a week or two before the robbery 🙄
it’s always that one to slip up
Stupid criminals rob casinos, smart criminals become politicians.
Rule 1 of being a criminal, don't tell ANYONE you're a criminal.
Especially a woman. U mind as well turn yourself in for less time.
Especially not a woman who has a history with drug addiction. They rat you out at first opportunity .
COOL
Work alone
What are you trying to say ?
Thanks for sharing! What a fool that guy was telling that girl. You don’t tell no one these things! The casinos are bigger crooks than anyone! If your a professional gambler your not actually allowed in a casino, hows that for crooks! Good on you man for doing it, your a legend, your buddy was a big malaka!
What an ingenious, resourceful & original guy.
Never partner with a junkie . Dude should have stayed a lone wolf.
Kevin got that right never partner with a junkie that is good as caught already lol
He didn’t have the balls
Yep
💯 Correct! A junkie is just a liability that needs to be eliminated.
do you know breaking bad?
The best scammer is probably still out there and no one has noticed
EXACTLY....GOOD CALL
The best scammer probably hit them big once and rode off into the sunset.
Yeah, because a real scammer doesn't show off his wealth.
Andy Dufrane did it right.. get the goods and then get out clean
Maybe there are people like Nick, but less greedy. Just hit it big but not too much. And after that, just start a new life. That's amazing.
LOL someone working at a casino calling someone a dirtbag is like a priest accusing someone of diddling kids lol
This was really interesting! Thank you! Subbed 🙂
Lessons for future cheats.
1: Don't get cocky or greedy
2: Work alone
3: Always lay low
Cheating implies you attempted to play a game they broke the system and bypassed the game
Walk away while ahead
I disagree with #2 - i would replace that with "If anyone in the scheme picks up a drug habit or starts hiring strippers, cease operations immediately and resume once they are completely out of the picture."
@@Jackson-pu7gd Do you really think the due was going to give up fast and easier money? One thing I can say about people is that they will want everything despite not even having a way to pay for it.
@@donaldlyons17 "Do you really think the due was going to give up fast and easier money?"
He struck me as a smart dude (the one who didnt tell some random woman he hardly knew all about his operation). I guess the lure of money clouded his judgement, because once that woman started blackmailing them he should really have stopped everything and waited until things blew over before resuming again. If he did that, the police raid would have turned up nothing and he would never have been arrested.
5 million down to 12k damn thats a good lawyer

The casinos are the worst thieves of all in this article.
Bravo to any artisan who can fool these corporate criminals who steal from punters, treat their workers like slaves, and fail to pay contractors who build their premises.
Dennis was one of the most successful gambling cheaters we've ever caught? But you didn't catch him. He got ratted out by one of his accomplices. Ultimately all of them got screwed over by somebody opening their mouths. Stupidity and greediness led to their downfalls. Gaming commissions detectives rarely make arrests solely due to their "detective skills".
Lol
Yea bro crazy how someone always has to ruin it
Calledg greed
2 PEOPLE can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
Damn true!
The first guy that made the chips seems like a genuinely nice guy. Hope he got his life straight.

The gaming agents love to take credit for the great police work on their part, but almost every case had a former member of the gang rat out the cheater. It seems to me if a cheater can do his scheme without help from others, he is likely to stay free.
Most criminals get caught because they tell too many people
This is the case with regular law enforcement in general. The large majority of bust are due to people snitching or some other happens chance that has nothing to do with great police work.
'yeah,2 people CAN keep a secret...if one of them's dead'---some mafia guy.
This is true. Many murderers get caught as they tell someone. The secrecy must be burdensome and it comes as a relief to share it.
problem is if you win too much or too often you end up on the radar of the casinos.

False. The point of a casino is to lure you in with the possibility of winning big.
Stealing implies that you have no choice in the matter.
You have a choice whether to gamble or not, and the odds are available for you to see.
I love how this video not even 30 seconds in is depicting the casinos as the good guys. The whole business is shady.
In 1992 when the Foxwoods casino opened in CT, a man rented a room for six months. He told the cleaning crew he had a phobia and to never clean his room; he would do it himself. About five months later, a new cleaning lady went to clean his room and discovered the guys printing press where he was printing $100 faces on $1 chips. It's estimated he stole over 2 million from Foxwoods. This is a full 13 years before these guys in Vegas made fake chips. Not sure why the video didn't reference this as it's still available on google.
That’s really cool to know haha, my family goes to Foxwoods all the time!
Shouldnt count as evidence since it was not something they should have ever known, people need their privacy.
@@saramorin4792not evidence but a reason to look into and then catch him in the act. That’s probably how he got busted.
We need more people like Dennis. “Never smarten up a chump”. 🐐
That's also the 1st Rule of Poker, "Never teach the fish". lol
that's a great line....
Crime is always a catch22. It was near impissible for him to do it alone but the moment he brought another person in it's almost certain he'd get caught
That girl extorting them for money would've ended being unalived by anyone else 😂
I like how they tried to arrest Phil Ivey. He noticed if you turn the cards a certain way, you can see if it is a 10 or below. It had to do with the way they cut the cards. He didn't have to forge anything or steal. He is just super observant, but because he won, that was illegal.
Exactly. Casinos don't mind if you lose your car or your home, but if you win a hand of poker, there's a problem.
The term "counting cards" was coined supposedly, by a Caesar's Palace executive early 1950's, as a "scarlet letter" portrayal of successful card players who were vastly skilled. There is NO reason for card players who use their brain , and not rely on gadgets or trickery to win card games. The casinos are just sore losers.

GOOD GUYS!!!! no way you said that with a straight face 😅
While going to college in San Francisco years ago, my room mates and I would sometimes drive up to Tahoe in the winter for skiing. We would also stop in the casinos there. I was at a roulette table one day and was having a good run of luck. The people working the table were not happy. They ran out of patience with me and swiped away a winning chip that I had on the table at the end of the spin. My friend was with me and he also saw what happened. I didn't want to make a scene and left. The casino was Harvey's. Some months later, someone planted a bomb there which destroyed the entire casino floor. It was poetic justice.
“Someone”. We know it was you haha

Did this video seriously call Casinos the good guys? These multi billion dollar misery factories that prey on addiction and desperation, and rig their own machines, are the heroes?
While the small time people ripping them off (and in this case guys who couldn't get work trying to feed their families) are the bad guys?
Who the hell made this? All power to the card counters and swindlers! As long as they keep taking it from casinos and not people on the street.

It's because their scams are legal and enforced by government.
It’s always the friends that can’t control themselves mess everything up when it’s going good!!!😢
These guys are hero's.
I swear, every single heist video I watch is like like "they had a masterful plan, but they also told random people exactly what they did, and those random people turned them in."
If his buddy didn't tell the stranger...this still would have been happening.
Loose lips sink ships
Good watch, I like it
Awesome!! 🎉🎉
The irony at 31:32 is unreal. Dude doesn't realize he's describing casinos themselves.
"He's a predator. He's a shark swimming among the anchovies out there. He's looking for the lazy person, trying to find that weak link that we have and take advantage of it."
dead right.
How are the casinos predators? In the wild, prey do not willingly walk into the predator's mouth right?

@@plowking813 They key word in my comment is "willingly." They don't know they are walking into a predators mouth. People know the casino is a venus flytrap, spider web and etc...yet choose to do so. A fly, walking into a venus fly trap knowing it would be eaten would be a more accurate analogy.
Love these stories of beating Vegas! I never root for the house.
There is 2 more episodes very interesting 1st is about security camera and scams 2nd is about cheating slots and card games this is the 3rd
Beating Vegas was the original and they took them all down except DICE DOMINATOR
Dixie Normous The slots cheaters episode is really good

yes now get your own tactic not to lose. this is just cheating the game..
*vote ban*
Then you always lose....unfortunately
The Hammer and the Saw! 😆
The way the Pai Gau guy is chewing his gum is criminal by itself.
Major mistakes:
1. Working with a junkie
2. Telling a stranger woman about your scam
3. Not killing the stranger woman once she threatened to turn you in
4. Keeping the workshop in your own home… instead of some cash rented storage unit that is no way connected to you or your name
There's always an idiot who can't keep their mouth shut.
And other crooks are the first to extort you and rat you out.
I could work with you 🤣🤣👍
Who are u🙄
@@islandqueen7342 I’m Some Random Dude
@@islandqueen7342 you dad
The thing that always baffles me about this is they made all this money and never once thought to use the cash to move their operation out of their garage. Every time they get caught all the evidence is just in their main resident lmao
Don’t 💩 where you eat.
"Good guys" 😂
Well done!
Stealing money from criminals, is not a crime.
Abi Dabi
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
lmao i agree with you
@Insomnia Blaze Define 'stealing' as how the Casinos operate? They offer games that you can't win at so they can make a profit, everybody knows this, if you give them your money voluntarily they aren't 'stealing' anything.
@Insomnia Blaze So everyone that gambles in a casino is an out of control degenerate addict? Sure, there are people who can't control themselves in that environment and that is unfortunate, but they represent a small minority of the customers - like how not everybody that drinks in a bar is an alcoholic.
RIGHT!!! BUT THEY HAVE IT SO ELABORATE THAT THE ENTIRE STATE GOES IN FAVOR OF THE CASINOS...LAWS ARE WITTEN IN THEIR FAVOR TO CHEAT PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY.
The fact that we get free documentaries on UA-cam by Wonder is truly a gift. 👍
Yep this channel is awesome! Their content never disappoints.
Ingenious!
:12 seconds in describe good and bad guys battling every day. Good guys visiting Las Vegas--hahahahahaha that got a chuckle out of me.
Whoever made this documentary is insane calling the casinos the good guys lmao
I find it more than funny when casinos call people "dirtbags" or "career crooks", while their entire shtick is to literally scam ppl out of their money.
Sounds like a salty idiot who’s lost in a casino
That’s the talk of losers. Losers walk into a casino and actually think they can beat the published odds.
Then the losers claim the casino cheated them.
This is infantile thinking. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦♂️
