A trio of gamblers who used laser technology to win more than £1 million ($A1.9 million) from London's Ritz casino have been told they can keep their winnings.

The Hungarian woman and two Serbian men used a laser scanner hidden in a mobile phone linked to a computer to gauge the speed of the ball and the roulette wheel, and hence the number most likely to come up.

They were able to do the calculations swiftly enough to place their bets as required before the roulette wheel had gone round three times.

On the first night they won £100,000 and on the second took home another £1.2 million, the Sunday Times reported.

It said all three were arrested after the casino carried out inquiries, and their funds were frozen. But police said on Saturday that the case had been closed and the three allowed to leave with their money because they had broken no laws.

The newspaper said casinos throughout the country were examining security as a result of the case.

They cheated to win money, yet they haven`t broken any laws?!?!?!?.........righttttttttttt!!!

I read it in the news. Its like Wow...!

Unfortunately it is not written in the law book. What i think the government should freeze their fund and let them go. Cheating the casinos with whatever methods are still considered cheating. Then it should be written in the law book.
