	On September 6, a user logged into BitVegas and exploited a ~~glitch related to Bukkit~~ to log into the server as ~~Murderscene~~ and ~~Dinnerbone~~. About 7 bitcoins were stolen, worth about $1,000 at the time.<ref>~~https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic~~=289399.0</ref><ref>~~http://www.~~reddit~~.com/~~r/Bitcoin~~/comments/~~1lx1y4~~/minecraft_casino_bitvegas_hacked_and_poker_alpha/~~</ref>		On September 6, 2013, a user logged into BitVegas and exploited a vulnerability in CraftBukkit to log into the server as other players and withdraw their funds. About 7 bitcoins were stolen, worth about $1,000 at the time.

			==History==
			===September 6, 2013 Hack===
			On September 6, a user logged into BitVegas and exploited a glitch related to Bukkit to log into the server as Murderscene and Dinnerbone. About 7 bitcoins were stolen, worth about $1,000 at the time.<ref>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=289399.0</ref><ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1lx1y4/minecraft_casino_bitvegas_hacked_and_poker_alpha/</ref>
			===Shutdown===
			After the disappearance of [[Murderscene]], BitVegas had essentially ran out of money by 2014. On January 20, all the games were shut down. The service remained online, and users could still deposit or withdraw, but placing bets was impossible.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/BitVegas/comments/1vocak/announcement_temporarily_shutting_off_the_games/</ref> When it became apparent that Murderscene wasn't coming back, the server was shut down on March 7. As the server had no bitcoins left, many users were left without any of their remaining deposits.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/BitVegas/comments/1zryen/announcement_temporarily_shutting_off_the_server/</ref> A month later, the [[BTCVegas]] project was started as an attempt to recreate BitVegas.

			===Floors===
			The building's six accessible levels were connected by elevators. The first floor served as the lobby, featuring a bar. Also connected to the first floor were two closed wings, a gift shop and a hotel. Neither of these wings would ever open, although it was possible to see their contents by freecamming. The second floor had two massive roulette tables and a slur of other games. The third floor had almost exclusively featured card games, and the fourth floor was centered on the [[BitVegas#Bacon Races\|Bacon Races]]. The fifth floor was reserved to users who had 1 BTC in their accounts, and had games with higher maximum bets. The top floor was technically the roof, and had several games of skill which did not allow betting.

	===~~Slots~~===		Players could purchase alcoholic drinks from bars across the casino. Upon drinking a beverage, there was a 48% chance of the drinker finding double what they spent on the drink. Found bitcoins were in the form of chips in the bottle.
