Card counter files suit against multiple Caesars' properties in NJ and NV

[Aslan]

Thanks. I was whipping out a post on the way to do something. I slipped a digit one way on the first example and the other way on the other. It is fixed now. I did find it a little hard to believe the casino could miss 1 black chip every day the guy worked since all casinos track black chips but that is what the suit told me and I didn't feel it wise to question it.

A major Vegas casino had a dealer who could put a black under his wristwatch band with the cameras watching and they could not see it. Finally, a dealer became suspicious of his "magician-like" movements, and began watching him intently every day until finally his move was detected. As I understand, he was fired. No jail time. Are they hoping he will go to the competition?

Probably a multi tiered affair.

1. They didn't want to press serious charges to draw public attention of other would-be thefts
2. They didn't want the negative public image of shady dealers
3. They didn't want to put themselves into a lawsuit situation with a potential mishandling of the situation with that employee

Business, in this day and age, is a fickle world. Everyone is lawyered up and ready to sue at a moments notice. Seems like the lawyers are on speed dial with just about every mid-level manager/executive.

Exoter, that sounds like music (or at least, +EV) to a lawyer's bottom line. If only I was an ambulance chasing scheister!

It is not rare that a casino fires an employee for stealing without going for a criminal prosecution.

It isn't rare at all, in fact its the "common practice" in this day and age. Much less liability.
