• A little-known state law enforcement agency is now looking into the biggest case it has ever investigated.

Agents with the Colorado Division of Gaming arrested a cashier at the Monarch Casino in Black Hawk, alleging she stole half a million dollars in cash earlier this month.

The theft is the largest casino heist on record in the state since legal gaming began in 1991. The case investigation will be handled by the Colorado Division of Gaming’s 60 sworn agents.
