Casino Scandals That ROCKED the Industry

3. The notorious MIT Blackjack Team took card-counting to new heights.

Between 1970 and 1990, the MIT Blackjack Team devised scientific card-counting methods and used them against gambling clubs to steal millions. The team was comprised of undergraduates and graduates from reputable universities such as MIT, Harvard, and other institutions. The pioneer of the group, Bill Kaplan, supposedly made about $10 million throughout the years. Casinos discovered the plot, and individuals from the group were banished from betting. This scandal inspired the movie '21'.
