2. Bill Brennan, a cashier at the Stardust, left for lunch during a shift in 1992 with over $500,000 in cash and chips in a duffle bag. Fifteen years later, there is no sign of Brennan.

3. The Orleans poker room manager was arrested by Nevada Gaming Control Board agents and charged with stealing more than $200,000 in tournament entry fees.

4. Three masked men carrying semi-automatic weapons burst into the Isle of Capri Casino and held patrons at gunpoint, making off with nearly $100,000.

5.  Thirteen people were arrested for cheating Claridge Casino Hotel out of more than $100,000 in mini-baccarat. A dealer used a false shuffle that allowed players to know the order of the cards.
