Ritz Roulette Scam: Gamblers Can Keep the Money

'Laser scam' gamblers to keep £1m

Two Serbian men and One Hungarian woman were told they could keep the £1.3 million they scammed from the Ritz Casino last March.

In an ingenious set up, they played roulette at the Ritz with a laser in the mobile phone. The phone was linked to a computer and would compute the likely finish of the ball from the speed scanned by the laser. Before the betting was finished, they were able to get the results and place the bet.

In the first evening, they won £100,000 so they decided to try their luck again and made a further £1.2 million the second night.

They were arrested and the funds and phones confiscated. However, the police have now claimed no laws were broken and have allowed the 'gamblers' to keep their winnings.

You have to give kudos where its due - they found a loophole and they won.
