Nathan Gordon Bryant, 31, has pleaded not guilty to aggravated burglary, theft, aggravated robbery, attempted robbery, and discharging a firearm.
An ACT Magistrate on Thursday committed Bryant to stand trial in the higher court.
Bryant is alleged to have stolen about $99,540 during six armed raids in the territory over a six month period between 2006 and 2007.
Court documents show Bryant worked as a security guard in cash vans and on club doors in 2005 and 2006.
In October 2006, a masked man, armed with a sawn-off shotgun, stole $46,508 from the Eastlake Football Club.
A month later, a man matching the same description robbed the club of $15,724 at gun point.
In January 2007, a shotgun wielding man threatened staff and discharged the weapon at the Ginninderra Labor Club before fleeing without any money.
Three hours later, the same man stole $15,310 from the Canberra Raiders Sports Club in Gungahlin.
In March, staff at Emu Bank McDonald's handed over $11,455 after being confronted by a man armed with a shotgun.
An armed man stole a further $10,542 from the same restaurant during a gunpoint heist two weeks later.
Bryant was arrested in April 2007 and police allegedly discovered a black balaclava, a sawn-off shotgun, and cartridges in his white Toyota Hilux.
Police raided his NSW home and allegedly seized numbered cash bags, $18,000 in cash, clothing similar to that worn by the offender, and $85,998 worth of lottery tickets.
The case will appear in the ACT Supreme Court for directions next month.
