Your post is incorrect.
I was speaking to Craig Cavileer, GM of the Silverton, shortly after the player's second visit there. The casino was highly suspicious that the player's unusual good fortune on the first visit was happening again. Without going into great detail (there's still a trial to be had), the player was not able to leave with his riches. When he went to leave he was surrounded by some combination of police, Gaming agents, and casino security.
I think it was Rob Singer who asked "what kind of attorney would defend such a creep?" I personally am glad I live in a place where accused criminals can get a good defense. Whatever the actual facts turn out to be, you can be very sure that the newspaper accounts some of them wrong. When this case is adjudicated there might be several decisions that affect many of us down the road. I believe that it's to most of our interests to follow this case closely rather than to dismiss the defendant as a creep.
In my Million Dollar Video Poker autobiography I admitted to (after consulting with an attorney) playing some high stakes video poker machines that were receiving slot club benefits appropriate to slot machines rather than video poker machines. While that's different from what happened here, presumably the same law could be used against me. Other players have done similar things. I guess to Rob we must all be creeps who deserve to rot in prison.
