Casino workers suffered from high rollerball entertainment

Fans of digging into the intricacies of litigation will surely appreciate the topic that recently appeared on the thematic poker forum 2 + 2. It is dedicated to one of the meetings of the key regulatory body, called the Pennsylvania Gambling Control Board.
This time, the reason for the gathering of controllers was the need to make a decision on the Herd of 10 cards. This generally forbidden discipline was used Doug Polk and Jeremy Kaufmanwho played it in March 2017 in a casino Sugarhouse.
Shooting Sean Deeb, which made this case public. It was for her sake that seven boring men in formal suits for an hour and a half discussed in monotonous voices what to do with Kaufman and Polk, as well as those who indulged them in breaking the rules.
The hype rose about this because of two points. Firstly, both entries appeared on the Web - and the forbidden game itself, laid out exactly after Poker night in america, and a court that causes the cheekbones to be reduced, and such an abundance of information naturally produces both versions of the incident and the verdicts of the sofa jurors. And secondly, not those who violated, but those who did not interfere, suffered as a result of the proceedings.
In fact, Polk and Kaufman persuaded the casino dealer to help them play 84 thousand dollars in a flip. The employee of the gambling house did not prevent them from placing bets, and then gave them ten cards face down.
In principle, the Stud is completely undeservedly recognized as seditious: what is critical in the player opening the cards until one of them hits the opponent’s card? However, such things are prohibited in Pennsylvania, which means that what happened between Polk and Kaufman in the Sugar House (as the name of the casino is translated) should be considered in detail and roughly punished.
As a result, the gambling establishment was fined $ 30 thousand. Another $2500 went to the costs, but most importantly, the dealer and Sugarhouse flora were fired. This was harsh and not entirely fair in relation to the employees of the casino, and naturally aroused the indignation of the poker community.
The regiment and Kaufman were accused of meanness and called idiots, and also convicted of incitement to violate the law. In response to this, the Regiment itself, appearing at 2 + 2 as WCGRider, wrote that he regrets what happened, but no one warned of the existence of a ban on the 10-card stud in Pennsylvania, since in Las Vegas, for example, such games are in the order of things.
There was, in his opinion, nothing wrong with putting entertainment on the channel with Kaufman. And if so, then he apologizes for what happened, and once again clarifies: what happened was unintentional.
And although after such a remark some people sided with the Regiment, and some even accused the dealer of not fulfilling their duties (due to the fact that he did not stop the players), the situation still looks ugly. If her defendants were not sitting at the table with such happy faces, it would seem that the guys who were tired after a hard day came just to relax at all costs ...
