Las Vegas is built on one rule. The house always wins.

But throughout history, certain people decided that rule didn't apply to them. Some were criminal masterminds. Some were desperate. Some were the very people hired to keep the casinos honest.

These are the nine biggest cons in Las Vegas history — from a twenty-year mob skimming operation inside the Stardust that the FBI spent years unraveling, to a man who reverse-engineered slot machine microprocessors in his garage and stole sixteen million dollars, to a Nevada Gaming Control Board inspector who used his government access to cheat the very machines he was paid to certify.

One of them ran for two decades under the noses of the most regulated gambling environment on earth.

Nobody saw it coming.
