Moment woman climbs onto casino table and flings chips into the air
- Rebecca Castillo, 63, climbed onto the craps table at the Silver Legacy Casino
- Viral videos show her grabbing fistfuls of chips and throwing them into the air
- She later laid down on top of the table as staff tried to grab her
Wild videos posted online captured the moment a woman climbed onto a craps table and recklessly tossed chips around, refusing to move even as casino staff tried to grab her.
In a video posted to TikTok, the woman - whom police later identified as 63-year-old Rebecca Castillo - could be seen kneeling on top of the craps table at the Silver Legacy Casino in Reno, Nevada, on Saturday.
Castillo - who was seen wearing a blue and yellow striped shirt with jeans, sneakers and a pink baseball cap - then grabs fistfuls of chips, and starts hurling them into the air - much to the chagrin of casino employees who have surrounded her.
One such employee could be seen trying to grab her arm, but she leaned over him and flung even more casino chips as security guards started to arrive.
A guard then seemed to have grabbed Castillo by the arms, as someone in the background could be heard saying, 'She's going to jail, she's going to jail.'
Another video showed Castillo lying down on the craps table to avoid being grabbed
Another video posted to X on Wednesday provides a different view of the incident, showing Castillo sitting on her feet and swatting at the casino employee who grabbed her arm.
He managed to grab hold of her arm at one point, but in an apparent attempt to get out of his clutches, Castillo flings herself to the side and starts lying down on the craps table.
Onlookers could be heard telling her to 'get up, get up.'
The TikTok video has now been viewed more than 394,000 times, while the video posted to X garnered 237,500 views.
