(Golden Nugget) in Atlantic City, New Jersey Nugget) Golden Nugget Casino recently filed a lawsuit against 14 gamblers, claiming that the eight decks of cards used by the gamblers when playing baccarat were not shuffled, and therefore, the more than 1.5 million US dollars they won should be illegal gains.

Among the 14 gamblers, three Chinese gamblers were dissatisfied, saying that the casino discriminated against them because they were Chinese. One Chinese gambler, Hua Shi (transliteration: Shi Hua), claimed that he was detained by the casino for 8 hours. He told reporters through a translator: "On the night of May 1, he was receiving treatment for insomnia in his room. The hotel service staff suddenly woke him up and pushed him against the wall of the room." "I am very sad and disappointed. I hope the casino will abide by the rules of the game."

Benjamin Dash, a lawyer for the three defendant gamblers, said that his clients never expected that they would become defendants. These gamblers believed that the casino discriminated against them just because they were Chinese. Dash also pointed out that these gamblers did not do anything wrong, so they should get back the nearly one million yuan in cash that has not been redeemed. There is no law in New Jersey that makes it illegal for a gambler to win money because casino staff did not shuffle the cards.

It is reported that when these 14 gamblers were playing baccarat (mini baccarat game 802), they discovered that the eight decks of playing cards used on the card table had not been shuffled, but were constantly circulating in the same order. So, they increased their chips from US$10 to US$5,000, and then won 41 games in a row. Just as the chips they won were getting bigger and bigger, the casino security personnel discovered anomalies and suspected that these gamblers were cheating, but they could not determine how the gamblers were operating. In the end, the casino paid out only $600,000 in chips and insisted that the gamblers' winnings were unfair to the casino.
