A robbery at the Seminole Casino poker room was caught on camera and police are hoping for tips to help solve the case.

"We're reviewing surveillance videos from multiple cameras, hoping there's a clear image of him in one of them," said Gary Bitner, a Seminole spokesman.

The robbery happened Friday shortly after 1 a.m. in the casino's poker room, on the second floor.

The robber showed his poker face before leaving.

The man waved a gun at an employee handling cash and demanded the money, Bitner said. He ran to the parking lot and drove off in an older model Cadillac, taking several thousand dollars with him, officials said.

Authorities ask anyone with information about this robbery to call Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
