Bet placement and payment are all functional parts of a casino game. You can't ignore them when reading the regulations. If Ivey placed bets differently than he otherwise would have, then the game was affected.
- TheGrumpyBrit 10y agoBut the section of the CCA Ivey is accused of breaching makes no allowance for whether or not any specific game was affected. It requires that the behaviour tends to affect the game, and given that the casino was happy to accommodate all requests and didn't see card rotation as anything more than superstition, I would argue that rotating a card would not tend to affect the game. Even if it does, there is a specific penalty defined for breaching that section of the CCA, so it's not comparable to the Golden Nugget case.
- jdmichal 10y agoI'll refer to my response on another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13238503 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13238503 > Specifically, it seems like the cards were "placed in a condition" and "operated in a manner" which "alter[ed] the normal chance of the game" for Ivey and Sun.
