Pastor Robbing
A pastor in Las Vegas, Gregory Bolusan, was arrested in 2017 for robbing the M Resort Casino in Henderson, Nevada three times! Though not directly related to placing bets, this still goes down in the hall of fame of wild gambling stories. This is straight-up gambling with life!
According to KSNV News3LV, the first attempt happened when Bolusan, in a white 2010 Toyota Camry with covered plates, demanded money holding a gun and backpack. When the employee at M Resort ran off, Bolusan walked away empty-handed.
Bolusan returned about a month later, with the same car, wearing the same clothes and parked in the same spot. This time when he demanded money at gunpoint, he fled with over $29,000.
He returned a month later, this time wearing different clothes, and almost made off with over $33,000. But on this occasion the casino’s staff apprehended him, leading to Henderson police arresting him.
The police revealed that he was a pastor at Grace Bible Church in Las Vegas. Also, they said his gun was fake! Bolusan was charged with felony charges, including robbery and burglary.
In an update to this story, Las Vegas television station KNTV reported that Bolusan’s wife was a shift worker at M Resort, and could have been key to the multiple robberies.
