When Richard Angelica tried to return to his room at MGM Springfield following an outing to Gillette Stadium to see the Patriots play, he was surprised to find his key card no longer worked on the door to his room.
Less than 12 hours after checking in, Angelica was informed by the hotel that he had checked out and the hotel had emptied his room. In his hotel room safe, he had placed $30,000. Although the hotel had his things, when Angelica went to collect them, he said $20,900 was missing.
Angelica, a semi-professional poker and blackjack player who has been touring casinos for a decade, was at MGM on an invite from the casino to play the tables at MGM on Dec. 26 as a “high-roller.”
