It was the week before Christmas 2022 and an unnamed New Jersey woman hit it big at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City video poker machines. She hit a MEGA jackpot on December 17 turning a $5 bet into $1.68 million and subsequently tipped the table dealers $77K, even though it happened on a machine. Several casinos were robbed throughout the USA in the month of December, including two more a few days before Christmas in Las Vegas. Also, the Las Vegas Mirage was sold for $1.075 billion to Hard Rock International in the past year and received approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board on December 16. There are no plans to close the hotel-casino but they will need a lot of time and money to complete the renovations.

Robbers are always preparing for the Christmas holidays. There's only one guy who could interfere with their plans.

I always wondered if casino would cover players losses if robbery occurred in poker room. I think Beau rivage was robbed earlier this year and thieves took money directly from players.
