So Laura De La Fuente was right!

Hi everybody! The meaning according to the film context is: dirty money, mob money. Thanks a lot
True, but Daniel normally seems to translate audio and so may have misheard whatever it is.

Unlikely A croupier wouldn't have any "own money", only gamblers' money (soon to become the casino's money ...)
Croupier?
Lara Barnett Apr 7:
@ Daniel I agree that this could be a name. Given that in film/tv scripts we are often talking about characters, who most of the time have names, this could easily be a name or reference to somebody. Used either as a nickname or a derogative reference to somebody would be plausible, but we don't know without context.
Daryo Apr 7:
Without more context my guess would be "money belonging to / coming from the creeper", the "creeper" being some specific previously mentioned person.

creeper

Just because the money is coming from some unsavoury character wouldn't make it dirty / illegal.
JaneD Apr 7:
Context? It might. Or it might be a reference to the person involved. But without more context we'd only be guessing.
