Maryland Live! Card Counter Civil Judgment

I hope the suit and the cops get the book thrown at them. Unless I missed something the other security guards never put their hands on him. The suit grabbed him and chicken winged him.

This has got to be one of the easiest cases Bob N has gotten

Evidently you have never dealt with the Maryland Justice system. Especially in Anne Arundel County.

Update: All parties settled out of court. Bummer we won't get to see how much Justin got paid.

The casino didn't want the embarrassment when they would've eventually lost. Better to settle and keep things quiet.

They already lost! They just wanted to decide the amount of the judgment rather than a Jury.

Yeah, but less media attention the better for them. The general public, whether gamblers or not, should be outraged that these companies still try to get away with this behavior. He's a friggin card counter. Just flat bet the guy and he'll most likely leave on his own.

Better yet, hire some competent people that don't send card counters limos to entice them to play.

Well absolutely 0 media is covering this, which is why I had to hack together my own crappy article.

Pit bosses/security are super dumb and most have no clue about the games they're offering and their vulnerabilities. Anything beyond flat-betting is absolutely useless, and can only bring negative PR and lawsuits to the casino.

Sorry to dig this up. I followed the case closely. What outraged me the most was how the shift manager back roomed Justin and was so arrogant in the way he acted. How do people like that get jobs? I think he’s still working at another casino now! What’s best is that with the propensity of casinos opening, cases like these need more attention so people who somehow get into positions of power know they can’t just detain someone for using their mind.

Fairly certain Justin made out with a great settlement otherwise there wouldn’t be a gag order so we don’t know the specifics. Good for him!
