The burden of proof should be on the house, to prove the player violated an explicit rule. If there is no need to prove any violation of any explicit rule, what's to keep the winnings themselves from becoming circumstantial evidence of getting an edge? "We pay out all small winnings. Good luck. If you want to win big, good luck in court."

Don't see how this isn't a personal attack even though it is completely incorrect. Please support your "fact" with the exact gaming law. The casinos will say it is cheating but that doesn't make it a regulation.

If the dealer was in the game then all should be punished. Cheating is cheating and I have no skin in such a game. I feel all these cheats should pay. I don't have any negativity towards the casinos since you know going in they have the upper hand. Pros can win some money, but if you get an employee involved you have to pay up. Sorry, but it is what it is.

To hell with casinos. They should all be shut down. There evil places that destroy lives. House always wins...Preying on human weaknesses. Just my opinion and view.

So the edging technique is well known? The house knows about it? But leaves it in place? As a trap for unwary gamblers? To deceive them into thinking they can get an edge, and then, when they do, taking it back in court? But that implies the house always knows when players use that edge. Wouldn't the players know the house knows? And wouldn't they know they would lose in court? Then why do they do it? Something doesn't add up.

Wouldn't the courts finding be a clue to you that the players did something against some regulation or rule?

Or do you think the court made an arbitrary decision not based upon law?

Evil, legalized robbery. Casinos are houses of the devil. Shut em down. Got to love those Native American casinos. Legalized robbery. All of them. Screw the casino....May the players win so much that they have to shut these temples of darkness down. Amen.
