This actually DID happen at MGM Detroit. One woman working the cage was
"allegedly" (gotta get that word in here) swiping personal info from that supplied
by W2G winners, and funneling it to an outside contact. Never did hear what
was done about it.

As much as I think Griffin should be shut down, the danger of
Griffin selling SS#'s to identity theft rings (they would only have
a few names and numbers) is small compared to danger of a near

personal information, being in a partnership with such a ring.
We, all give casinos too much information that they really do not
need in order for us to stay at their hotel, play at their casino
and perhaps get a few comps during the process.
Nevada earlier this year had a misdirected (a nice term for moronic}
piece of legislation introduced by a state senator, that would have
given casino security (those poorly paid, untrained wannabee cops)
your full department of motor vehicle records. As a person who has
already suffered the problems that came from my identity being
stolen, I wrote a scathing letter to this person (no reply) but was
pleasantly surprised when his bill was soundly defeated.One person working in a department with everyone's personal
information is all it takes.
