The whole point of a casino is for the house to eventually win. That is the nature of a business. However we are also talking about gambling - the taking of odds and rules of the game and paybacks etc.
So someone outflanked the house, via dextrous skill. Now here's where it gets a bit murky: where do we draw the line between fiddling the odds potentially into your favour via skill and otherwise? I think that skidding the dice was always an available option and hence should be accounted for say with a trip obstacle that the dice must cross.
I think that skidding in this case is different than earpieces and card marking and other cheats. I also don't think that counting in Black Jack is wrong - fix the bloody game.
Gambling is often painted by the industry as a game of skill. Please don't penalise skill but do have the good grace to realize when you have lost. Pick yourself up and adjust the rules and crack on. You have destroyed so many lives over the centuries, so why not own it and grow up?
- htag 3y ago> where do we draw the line There's actually clear rules about dice handling at carb tables. The dice are expected to hit the far wall, the dice are expected to be tossed, and to not slide. Throws that do not meet standards might be deemed 'no roll'.
