Part IV: Financial Fraud · Chip, Cash & Ticket Fraud
Serial Casino Robbery Sprees
How it works
A criminal or crew systematically robs multiple casino properties in a region, often refining their technique with each robbery. In April 2023, Las Vegas police identified suspect D’Shante Styles through DNA on a baseball cap left at one scene — he was linked to serial cage robberies at Gold Coast Casino, Green Valley Ranch Casino, Silverton Casino Hotel, and Rampart Casino. In Washington State (August 2025), a suspect was arrested for armed robbery attempts at Little Creek Casino and Silver Reef Casino after a multi-agency investigation involving FBI and Homeland Security.
