Australia’s largest casino has been scammed out of a reported $32 million in an Ocean’s Eleven-style heist.
Melbourne’s Herald-Sun newspaper said a foreigner staying at the Crown Casino used the venue’s own surveillance cameras in the sting.
The paper claims information taken from the high-resolution cameras was apparently signalled to the high roller as he played cards – a similar method to that used by George Clooney’s character in the crime caper.
In the 2001 movie Brad Pitt and Clooney recruit someone familiar with security to rob a series of Las Vegas casinos.
Crown said a member of staff in the VIP gambling area had been sacked and the patron involved banned after the scam was uncovered several weeks ago.
