Business as usual
These incidents are nothing new. This has been an ongoing aspect of Atlantic City for many years that I have talked about at length before. Years ago, notations about the high crime rate in AC were in an annual travel publication. The next year this notation was omitted although the crime rate had increased! Did the publisher get paid off or threatened to avoid saying anything about that in the next year's issue?
There are actual organized groups that are constantly "casing" (casino) areas that stay in touch with each other via cellphone. Spend enough time in the casinos and you can pick them right out! I have been followed or "tailed" before by people that were obviously up to no good, panhandled while right next to the blackjack pits, heard many a sob story such as from some poor waif who's "boyfriend left them stranded in AC" and blah blah blah, etc. It's hard for me to figure how casino security can't pick these people right out also.
What Automonkey said about being aware of your surroundings! Watch associating with anyone you don't know or you may find yourself robbed, hustled or whatever. Stroll off and associate with that little innocent waif and she leads you right into getting the piss beat out of you by a contingent of the local africans before they rob you. Read up on what a "trickroll" is and how it can work. Watch where you go since a group working in a concerted effort that has identified you as a "person of interest" also knows where cameras are and know exactly what areas are ideal for a robbery; They are hoping that you will stroll into one of these areas giving them opportunity.
Not only do I follow these rules but I also have additional "special security precautions" that I follow that I will avoid going into the details of here. Even the casino employees are quite visibly nervous when coming and going from the relative safety of the casino floor, such as leaving to go home at the end of their shift and this is something that they do everyday. There is never any complacency on their part even with doing this task on a daily basis.
