The city is still able to attract Black Jack Tournament players willing to roll with real cash to win. Slot machines with progressive jackpots continue to spin. Yet, something is missing…
What is missing is the sense of safety for the gamblers. How secure can a player feel after Winning at blackjack at a local casino? Not too safe. Never mind walking the streets, even getting in a car may get you occasionally hijacked.
Not long ago, two local thugs went on a criminal rage on Atlantic City streets. A man and a woman, lovers and partners in crime, committed murder, arson, armed robbery, and carjacking, while big table casino games were taking place in a nearby casino resort.

Under verbal drills and long prison threats from the police, the casino gambling news reports, the lady-thug betrayed her lover for a reduced sentence of….30 years in state prison. This may make Atlantic City gamblers feel a bit safer.
