The safe money is on the Casino to lose this one, at least as far as the players are concerned. They might have a case against Gameco if the decks were labelled as pre-shuffled.

Don't think there is a legal requirement for gamblers not to gamble on the stupidity of an incompetently run casino.

I cannot see them winning a lawsuit that alleges the casino’s failure to practice due diligence in ensuring a deck of cards was properly shuffled and some card players noticed and made their bets accordingly.

[UB355]

That’s why it’s called gambling. Tough luck casino.

[ThirdMate]

WWJPD?

(What would Joe Pesci do?)

[dfwgator]

Somebody’s gonna get whacked over this.

The odds of winning at a casino are stacked in their favor, because the casino lost money due their fault now they throw a hissy fit and want their money back.

There was no cheating, counting of card, nothing.

I say go pound sand.

[Talisker]

The casino lets it go on for 41 hands and then says they were cheated?

LOL!

“Hey restaraunt, this meal is bad - I want my money back!”

“Whaddya mean it’s bad, you ate the whole thing!”

“Well I had to be sure!”

[Revolting cat!]

I need to start “gambling”.

[vbmoneyspender]

the casino cited gambling regulations that state gaming odds must be fair for both sides

Did the piece of paper this was written on start snickering when the complaint was filed with the court?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Fair for both sides? Thats a laugh.

[jb729]

Disagree with those who think this is a slam dunk for the patrons.

My money is on the casino. These types of cases almost always end up in the casinos favor. It would be akin to a slot machine malfunctioning. They win them almost everytime.

[Jack Hammer]

The casino wins, and it’s, “So long, Chump!”

The gambler wins and it’s, “Hey, wait a minute, that isn’t right!”

[ketelone]

[Lockbar]

Its New Jersey! Unfortunately, the casino will win.

[dinodino]

Case dismissed. Shuffle next time, casino.

[newzjunkey]

I’d say “tough luck” to the casino. They won 41 hands and no one at the casino noticed? Not buying it.

[SamAdams76]

The people running this casino are idiots as they missed out on a good PR opportunity. People would have flocked to their casino hoping for similar luck and the casino would have quickly made up their losses and then some with all the extra business. Instead, nobody is going to want to play there because they will be afraid of being sued if they win.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

state gaming odds must be fair for both sides.

Bwahahahahaaaaa....that is too funny.

Courts have invalidated slot machine "jackpot" winnings, due to software errors. In these cases, the gamblers had no way of knowing they were gambling on a "flawed" machine. Even so, the courts ruled in favor of the casino, though it could be argued that the casino hadn't practiced "due diligence" to insure the slot machines were defect-free.

In this case, the casinos are going to argue that the gamblers recognized that there was a pattern of cards being dealt and SHOULD HAVE notified the casino.

Given the history of these court cases, I have a feeling that the casino may very well win.

Don't get me wrong, I think that the casinos should be FORCED to pay out the winnings in all cases, as long as no cheating by the gambler is proven, including in the cases of "software errors."
