The person worked there so I wasn't concerned about getting robbed, just that they were 'watching me', My paranoia was that they were monitoring my play to see how I was winning these big jackpots but when the jackpots stopped, so did the watching. It's a small casino not in Vegas and they know me well but for a couple of months I was taking a lot of their money. On another note, when you hit anything over $5,000 a whole slew of employees come over with security and make a big production of paying you. You even have to have your picture taken by the guy in the sky, then they all leave and you are sitting there with this cash that a ton of people saw you get. I always ask security to walk me out when I've won a bunch but that's only protection to your car so I am always aware of any cars that could be following. So far there have been no scares. I also never go alone.

It could of been any race, they happened to be black. But the clothes and suspicious behavior is what got my radar humming. If this happens to you during a big hand payout, let me know how calm, cool, and collected you are as you hand over the win and pray not to get shot to these poor disfranchised victims of societies unfair standards lol
Ps police, like lawyers...nobody likes them until they need them.

I was commenting on the way they were dressed, not their race. If you are with a group of young men hanging around with hoods over your heads, you are going to get noticed and not in the any way you would want.
