The immense amount of cash flowing through casinos naturally attracts the world’s most ambitious criminals.

While modern security makes physical theft almost impossible, history is full of spectacular heists.

Phil Ivey and the Baccarat Edge

Professional poker player Phil Ivey used a technique called “edge sorting” to beat the house.

Ivey and his partner won nearly $20 million from casinos in London and Atlantic City.
