The court was told that in each kiosk are boxes containing bills of differing denominations, and that each time, the man seen in the video took the box with the highest-denomination hundred-dollar bills.<\/p>\n
Shortly afterwards, a casino employee noticed kiosk 8 was malfunctioning and Stanton reported her keys missing to her supervisor, who then alerted casino security. Security entered the restroom and found the cash cassettes discarded and empty in the disabled stall, while the two men were nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n
Financial records obtained from the Casino reflect $100,800 in $100 bill denominations are unaccounted for from the dispenser cassette assigned to Kiosk machine #8 and $92,000 in $100 bill denominations are unaccounted for from the dispenser cassette assigned to Kiosk machine #19,” court documents state.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe money remains unrecovered.<\/p>\n
