Do you have any first hand experience with this? It sounds like some tourist picked up a prostitute, got drunk, and had his chips stolen by his escort. I find it hard to believe that the Jaragua would be in cahoots with the thieves.

I have seen the "girls" passing off money to the security guards on several occasions. Probably not a cut from what they steal but from what they "earn" from the tourists. Pay for access.

Malibook...
Yes, that is exactly my point...MOST people that to go the casinos can't afford to lose their money for the slim chance that they 'might' win some...
Just like playing the lottery...
You won't see many 'millionaires' playing in those casinos...they know where to go and CAN afford to lose big...
You're right...I should consider the source of the comments and not even reply anymore...I just find it funny that someone would go to a place to lose money and then complain about it...
Oh, well...'nough said!!!

Don't expect DR casinos to cater to gamblers or even tourists. DR casinos are not usually in the business of gambling, they are giant laundromats and their activity is to process large amounts of cash on a daily basis. DR casinos do not provide authorities with a money trail, or inform of suspicious transactions. Drug profits are laundered through local casinos. Large bills, probably marked by undercover agents, are exchanged into 'legitimate money' through the casinos, and many a 'jackpot' winning is nothing more than a means to legitimize illegal drug profits...

The OP wasn't a complaint. It looked more like a warning to others to watch their chips. Then you jumped in and called people who go to casinos "dumb".
You must be a lot of fun to be around,

Isn't the word "dumb" more often associated with the word
"blonde" than the word "gambler"?
