The anonymous high-stakes blackjack player who helps families in need, Robin Hood 702, has announced that at least one of the two families he will redeem from financial ruin by playing blackjack on their behalf will be a Las Vegas family. As casinos cut back on staff and other expenses due to the economic recession, Vegas families that depend on the employment opportunities offered by the gambling industry are losing their jobs, insurance, and homes. The 702 in Robin Hood 702’s nickname refers to the telephone area code for Las Vegas, and Robin Hood has stated that since this number is part of his name it is only fair that one of the families that will benefit from his foray into Vegas casinos should be local. Robin Hood 702 has stated that he will announce the winning families next month.
