A TRIO of gamblers who used laser technology to win more than $3 million from London's Ritz casino have been told they can keep their winnings, police said.
The Hungarian woman and two Serbian men were arrested and had their funds frozen after using 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.
The case was closed and the three were allowed to keep their money because they had broken no laws.
