Hopefully the consequences for the perps will match the crime/ be rendered expeditiously. Society runs more efficiently when that occurs on a consistent basis.

There are ways to win and exit confidently with the cash. 

Do not go to the 'open cashier' in the main cage area and cash in your chips and immediately walk out to your car and leave.

All casinos as I know it, have a private or VIP cage room or area where others cannot view the transactions.  Of course these transactions are usually geared for the larger winners.  (Which the people committing crimes against are looking for anyway)

When you cash out your chips, do not go directly to your car.  You can go to various other parts of the casino, restaurants, snack bars, hotel lobby, etc., etc., and be sure no one is following you.  So then you are putting several buffer zones between yourself and leaving in your car.  Continuously look if anyone is following you.  Not too hard to discover, especially down a few hallways, etc. 

And probably the most important and effective is, when you are confident no one is following you, then exit a non gaming area exit to your vehicle.  All casinos have them.  So you will also avoid the perpetrators from hanging at the main casino exit looking for you.

Just some tips that will add safety without much work, IMO.
