A high-rolling gambler has pled guilty to stealing $125k worth of casino chips from a Crown Resorts VIP room.

Last December, Australian police filed charges against Gunawan Akay, a 38-year-old gold-class member at Crown Melbourne’s Maple Room for high-rollers. The casino operator’s high-quality CCTV footage had fingered Akay as the not-so-nimble-fingered thief who made off with 25 $5k chips two days before Christmas.

On Tuesday, Akay pled guilty to the theft. While Akay’s lawyer is attempting to keep most of the details secret, Crown said Akay was on a prolonged losing streak immediately prior to the theft, having lost thousands of dollars playing high-stakes baccarat.

Akay’s sleight of hand left something to be desired but while the VIP room dealer immediately alerted casino security of the theft, Akay managed to make it to the street without being detained. Being a regular at the casino, Crown officials quickly recognized their longtime customer’s face on the CCTV footage, and Akay was arrested four days after the incident.
