It's ok to change sports betting rules which pay 5 for 1, instead of 5 to 1. You cheap casinos deserve exactly what you're getting, and will continue to get even after the present economic climate goes away. Hell, if I were to bring a robot to the BJ table you'd still have the advantage. You're a bunch of greedy, larcenous, penny pinchers. The very idea, prosecuting a person with a felony because he/she can count. A pox on all your casinos. As for your Gaming Board "protecting" the players, what a laugh, the casinos pay your salaries, Nuff said.

You and the rest of the board are nothing but hypocritical puppets of the Casinos. When Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. was caught having illegally remodeled thousands of rooms at their various hotels where were you & your other sorry board members to protect the public? Oh yeah, one of your sorry butts, when the story broke said: "that if this was found to have been a willful act, action might be taken." How much more willful could it have been? Harrah's willfully & knowingly broke the law and illegally by-passed the very important permit system, and then compounded the grave situation by failing to do the construction work to code - which means moron that they put every guest that stayed in those thousands of rooms at risk for years! To make it more clear Harrah's tried to have a "Guest Fry" with their valued guests as the main course. This is criminal in every single sense of the word. Maybe you need to review the documentation that was gathered by the Clark County Fire & Building Departments documenting what was found when the walls were opened. Harrah's is still repairing what they illegally did to this day.

What about the fact that Harrah's during the course of these now well documented illegal remodels exposed their Guests & Employees to asbestos and God only knows what else? There are both State & Federal Laws that govern this. No question that this was a willful act on Harrah's part because they knew where the asbestos was, but made the conscious choice to ignore the law anyways. The laws do not appear to apply to Casinos the same as they do with us common folks.

OSHA & the Gaming Board should be closed down permanently!

God forbid that a sucker who would yield to the intensive marketing of "sin city" would EVER be allowed an EVEN break.

Today was a good day: Trump Entertainment announced bankruptcy, I am sure several of these other sucker-traps will soon as well.

I hope whatever institution you're writing from gets you help. I don't know how, in your illogical, rambling screed, you manage to make me into a bible thumper, but I'm not.

One has nothing to do with the other, you sick guttersnipe. My point was that there are people who spend their lives trying to good things and help others - and then there are "people" who will protect casinos and corporations - who do not need or deserve it. Grow up, sicko.

eric wrote on February 17, 2009 02:35 PM: this qualifies as the dumbest article ever written. any casino dealer who is moronic enough to watch someone tap away at a "blank" iphone screen (or any other device) and allow it to continue deserves to be ripped off. these apps are for humor and education, they have no role in casinos - if you've ever sat at a table you would realize the ludicrous nature of your article. don't be like MSM, try and think every once in a while.

Dennis wrote on February 17, 2009 02:06 PM: Wow! So cell phones are now allowed in the sports books!!

Simple thing to alleviate the card counting at tables....don't allow cell phones, ipods, etc. PERIOD!

Went to a few casinos in Mississippi a few years ago, and you weren't allowed to even take a phone call at the table. You had to leave the table and the playing area, and that was only if you could actually get a signal.

Some casinos are so electronically wired up that cell phone signals don't even come through very well.

Bad news for the "can you hear me now" guys. :-)

Casinos make the rules because it is their money on the line. Don't like the rules, go somewheres else to play.
