Online casinos like 메리트카지노 are growing in popularity today and people can play their favourite games and earn money from the comfort of the home or office. However, this luxury was so common 20 or 30 years ago when gamblers had to be physically present at a casino before they could have a go at the chance of walking out a millionaire. No doubt, the casino has made many millionaires but it’ll also shock you to know that the casino has its mysteries. 

As shocking as it may sound, beyond the glitz and glamour, the casino which has been known to be a place where people go to have fun, has its own fair share of unsolved mysteries. Over the years, there have been records of murder cases, disappearances, and heists happening in different casinos all over the world.

At this point, you now know that there are mysteries surrounding the casino; some have been solved and the rest unsolved. Of all the mysteries surrounding the casino, five of them seem to be the most bizarre. Surprised? You should be. Hence, in this article, we’ll be looking at the top 5 casino mysteries.

1. The Bill Brennan Heist

On September 22, 1992, a certain man named Bill Brennan who at the time worked at the Stardust Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas managed to walk out of the casino with stolen money and chips to the tune of $507,361. It’s believed that he was able to achieve this feat by carefully and thoroughly observing the security systems to avoid being caught on the surveillance footage.

It became hard to pin the crime on Brennan since he wasn’t the type to cause trouble. However, according to people, he started acting differently after he asked for a promotion and the management refused because he spent time with a shady bettor at the casino.

Interestingly, a few months after the incident, the same bettor, who he spent time with disappeared as well which made authorities believe that the two of them probably orchestrated the crime together and split the goods. Until Bill Brennan is found, this crime will remain one of the most unsolved heists of all time.

2. The Murder of Jodie Bordeaux

On November 21, 1997, a woman named Jodie Bordeaux was shot in the head and killed by an unknown attacker who fired shots at the farmhouse where Jodie was living with her husband Shawn.

Why was she murdered? The reason why she was murdered is still unclear. Even though several suspects could be linked to her death; her husband believed someone from the Golden Eagle Casino was responsible for his wife’s death. 

The Casino was native-owned and Jodie wasn’t Native American, so it’s obvious some employers wouldn’t be too happy about the promotion. Days before she was killed, she received anonymous threats via phone calls. Jodie Bordeaux’s murder is one of the unsolved casino mysteries to date.

3. The Murder of Sonny Liston

Sonny Liston a boxing champion was found dead (murdered) in his house, a few days before the New Year in 1970, in Las Vegas. However, authorities believe that the cause of his death was due to an accidental drug overdose but others believe there’s more to the story than drugs. 

Sonny Liston had an amazing career with 50 wins before he lost a couple of fights to Muhammad Ali in the 60s. After his career in boxing, Sonny Liston got himself into fights and spent his days visiting Las Vegas casinos regularly. The speculation going around about his death was that he got involved in a loan shark ring, and got punished by his bosses after he refused to fight with Chuck Wepner internationally.

A lot of people seem to believe that his death wasn’t an accident since he lived a mysterious life, had no records of his date of birth and kept underworld connections.

4. The Disappearance of Trevor Angell

Trevor Angell was a truck driver and in 2000 he set off on a trip between Los Angeles and Canada. At some point during the trip, he called his wife claiming that he hadn’t slept in four days and that he was planning to stop the business after he delivered the last load.

Days after he talked to his wife, Angell’s empty wallet was discovered on the front seat of the truck he used for work abandoned at Whiskey Pete’s Hotel and Casino in Nevada. His ATM card that was found had been used to withdraw his paycheque nine times.

In Trevor’s case, it’s believed that he staged his own disappearance since witnesses claimed to have seen him in the car park looking sick the same day he was declared missing.

5. The Murder of Gail Ann Thompson

On the 3rd of May, 1996, a woman named Gail Anne Thompson wanted to stay a little longer in the Jackpot Casino in Nevada while her husband and friends decided to go to bed. However, it was later reported that she never returned to her hotel room.

She was later found dead with her head bashed with an unknown object and her throat slit. Gail’s case has a lot of discrepancies linked to her murder, including the fact that her husband didn’t seem all that bothered about his wife’s murder. Ever since Bobby died in 2000 and took all his secrets to the grave; the case has remained unsolved to this day.
