...Golden Nugget sued the players in July 2012 to recover $558,900 in chips cashed out by nine of the players and for a formal declaration absolving the casino of any responsibility to redeem the remaining $977,800 in chips...(T)he players “became unwitting participants in an unauthorized and illegal game of chance” involving cards that were supposed to be pre-shuffled but weren’t...

At some point the players realized that cards were being dealt in predictable patterns and upped their bets, said...an attorney for the casino...The casino reached a confidential settlement with...the company that provided the cards, he said.

HOLD EVERTHING -- are they double billing here?

I've contended that it's the card shuffling company that owes the casino reimbursement. The casino HAS received "secret" redress from them? Then for all we know, the casino has ALREADY been reimbursed for their payout in full! Well, if the settlement didn't involve that, it had better have involved FIRING them!

Oh, and about those unredeemed chips:

Other claims, such as an allegation that the casino discriminated against...players, all of whom are of Asian descent, when it refused to cash their chips...

Way to attract sorely-needed customers, Golden Nugget! (link)
