Blackjack Player Robin Hood Offers 50K Bounty for Bellagio Gunman

The noted blackjack player, who uses the handle “Robin Hood 702” and is known for his charitable work, recently put a bounty on the head of the armed culprit who robbed the Bellagio casino of a million and a half dollars. The bounty is worth $50,000 and is given upon the arrest of the gunman.

Robin Hood hopes that the bounty will spur people to help get the culprit apprehended and tried in a court of law. The masked and armed gunman hit two blackjack casinos, of which the Bellagio was the last to be targeted. The gunman was said to be riding a motorcycle and wearing a helmet to hide his identity. He walked in to the casino, held up a croupier and rode away with the loot.

Robin Hood 702 hopes that the Bellagio incident will be the last of the robberies and expects that the bounty will help get him caught. “I’m just trying to find this guy and stop any copycats. If the Bellagio was hit, the Palazzo could be hit, the Venetian, the MGM Grand, it could be every casino. This guy has to be apprehended quickly…. Fifty grand is a lot for someone to have in their pocket. I’m hoping other casinos will kind of add to the bounty and make this an incredible thing,” the player said.
