Arrests follow £1m roulette win

The three people won the money on the roulette wheel

Three people have been arrested after winning more than £1m at an exclusive central London casino.

Two men and a woman won the money playing roulette at the Ritz Casino club in Piccadilly on 16 March.

Police were called after the casino reviewed security video footage - they have confiscated the winnings and the suspects' mobile phones.

Two Serbian men, aged 38 and 33, and a Hungarian woman aged 32 have been released on bail until 30 March.

The casino is a high-profile venue in the former ballroom of The Ritz Hotel.

It opened as a casino in 1978, and is an exclusive, privately-owned members-only club. A spokesman said they had no comment to make about the arrests.

A Scotland Yard spokesman added: "Three people have been arrested on suspicion of obtaining money by deception through gambling.

"A significant amount of cash was seized and inquiries continue."
