Every claim Easy Street made was proven to either an outright lie or
non-verifiable. His speed was nowhere near as fast as they claimed as their
own history records they released showed. He had played more than 22,000
hands not the 8792 they claimed. (I have been very lucky in the last week
and had 3 royals in less than 1000 hands at a live casino.) Their so-called
expert will not give his name and I suspect he has not got a clue! They have
not shown the records of what was held on each hand to anybody so assuming
they know the correct plays they have not proved this player played perfect
vp. In short, these guys are crooks but sadly it will be nearly impossible
to punish them or force them to pay up.

My initial reaction was that the casino had acted appropriately. They said,
"no bots." He used a bot--end of story.
I have retracted that opinion for many reasons. One of them is the
ridiculous claims they made about him playing fast to overwhelm the RNG. As
if that were even possible. As I see it, if they really had a right on their
side they would not be making up silly things to strengthen their case. Of
course, maybe they would. People are strange.
Is it possible to play that fast? If you could use number keys, then yes. If
you were restricted to the mouse, then I'd say no.
1000 HPH is slow in the circles I travel. Also 100% accuracy on an easy game
like 9/6 JoB is no big deal either.
I could name at least 12 guys, just on my phone, that would consider this so
called impossible feat, "a day at the office".
I might not be among them anymore. I'm rusty.
In summary: there is no way to know who's right or wrong, we have only
hearsay to go on. I agree with Michael that places which prohibit bots
should be suspect, since they have an easy out if you run good.
He used a bot...so we won't pay. Then you are guilty until you prove your
innocence. Who needs that grief.
In this particular instance the casino might actually have been in the
right, but it's a case precedence that's not good for players.

have a casino still on my computer so I cannot take a look, but before they
knocked us Americans out I used to play video poker all the time, and I only
clicked it with a mouse, so I think I was actually slower than I would be in
brick & mortar, which is about 600-700 hands per hour.

But for me, I used to click with the mouse. So where I'm going with this, is
it, or was it, possible for a player to play online real fast, without a
bot?
