While the US economy has its ongoing struggle, there are rumours of more casino and card players doing scams on the Las Vegas Strip. Even though all casinos on the strip are all equipped with CCTV in each area of their casinos the scammers are making it more and more tricky to catch in the act. The casinos will not confirm how much or how many cases have taken place, there is speculation that it is getting larger and larger on a daily basis. The size of fraud prevention and incidents by the authorities has massively grown over the past 90 days as lots of people are willing to to throw down the gauntlet.

This has arrived at a bad time for the casino industry who in turn have seen a substantial rise in bad debts since the beginning of the year with lots more customers being dragged to court and prosecuted. While monies are being stretched & many expansion delayed or stopped altogether, there are hundreds of motions which are leaning towards online gambling rather than casino gambling.

The proof is there that the casino attendances are dropping all over the US but the prospect for the industry is good as the financial crisis is affecting everyone but casinos should survive.
