getting robbed at Los angeles Casinos
 

I have had a few friends get robbed at the Hawain gardens and Commerce. The usual senerio is my friends play poker in the casino for a few hours, then when they walk out to there car a group of guys show them guns and pistol whip my friends and they take there wallets/purses. This has happened 3 times this year already and the security there never seems to know what is happening. Hope some corrupt security guards arent involved with these things.

Don't these places have valet? Seems like paying for it might be +EV

At commerce if you're concerned just ask security for an escort.

I guess everyone must get an escort to be totally safe.

Pretty lame. These casinos should beef up their parking lot security and be held accountable in some way for robberies that take place on their property.

why on earth would anyone walk near a bunch of guys in a casino parking lot.

3 times? Your friends must be dumb. If you dont learn the 1st time.....I dont know what to say. You dont realize that every casino in LA is compton, gardena, or some idustrial areas? I wont even go to the Hustler again, just because of the type of people that go there.
VALET your car, pretty easy. Better yet, give the valet guy $10 to park your car right outside.

Do the L.A. casinos like Commerce and the Bike have safety deposit boxes in their cages for regular players? If I were a regular player I wouldn't even cash out my chips if they had this option. Naturally, you would need the ability to wire funds to your bank account. Do the casinos provide the service of wiring funds out?

Finally, are these criminals inside the casino watching the mark to ensure they have a good amount of cash on them or are they just randomly selecting folks as they leave not knowing what type of cash they have on them?

The guys hide behind cars then they sneak up behind you. One of my friends was a lady she went to go play a small buy in tournament at the hawaiin gardens and as she was about to get into her car they pistol whipped her and took her purse. she is terrified to ever go into a poker casino again and she only plays online now. They found her purse a few days later but the case remains open. Security didnt see anything not even on there cameras. I mean i have heard of home invasian robberies but give me a break.

If they aren't outside I don't think it would matter. I would recremend keeping two wallets on you. Lets say you leave with 2k+. Just put 150 in one wallet and the rest in another and put it down your pants.
