The ATM looked like a working system, but when people would put their cards in the machine, it would scan their card information and record the PINs they entered. He didn't know how long the ATM had been at the Riviera.
The criminals probably didn't realize that they were installing their ATM in a hotel that was soon going to be flooded with more than 8,000 security professionals, he added.
Sounds like there's quite a bit of money to make from that. You don't just fake a whole ATM and risk getting caught while setting it up for earning only a few dollars.
