Judges orders winnings returned to Golden Nugget casino in unshuffled cards case

Players who played in a mini-baccarat game with an unshuffled deck must return all chips and winnings to Golden Nugget, a state Superior Court judge said Thursday.

The casino had bought the cards from a manufacturer that were supposed to be pre-shuffled but weren't. That allowed 14 gamblers to win $1.5 million in an April 2012 game when they recognized the emerging pattern of cards. In the court decision, obtained by the Press from an attorney for Golden Nugget, Judge Donna M. Taylor said the game is not authorized under the New Jersey Casino Control Act.
