Swiss Casino Robbery


Armed robbers invaded a Swiss casino a few weeks after the robbery which occurred during the EPT Berlin! Poker was unfortunately the focus in different media this week with not very positive impact, and another incident took place last weekend at Casino Basel in Switzerland where armed robbers left undisturbed with hundreds of thousands of francs as prey!

The robbery took place in the early hours Sunday by about 10 armed men brandishing pistols and revolvers. The only positive case is that despite the heavy weapons … the bandit nobody was injured during the incident.

This new robbery adds to a few weeks after a similar incident during the PokerStars EPT Berlin. At that time the robbers left with 230.000 million to the latest reports, however, the German police to talk about full investigation of the case and arrest the suspects.

The two incidents have caused such turmoil in the logical world of poker and the managers of casinos and generated many questions about the security measures taken in European casinos and poker tournaments.

And although the two robbery-with the exception of some minor injuries-there was something more serious is the fact that players now require increased security measures and personnel will be able to avoid such unpleasant situations, otherwise a potential tragedy I will not late to appear pligonontas irreparably the reputation of the industry.
