美國新澤西州大西洋城的一家賭場日前對14位賭客提起訴訟，稱賭客玩百家樂時用的八副牌未經洗牌，由此，其贏得的150多萬美元應為非法所得。據悉，這14名賭客在玩百家樂時發現，牌桌上用的8副撲克牌一直都沒有洗牌，而是在按相同的順序不斷循環出現。于是，他們將籌碼從10美元提高到5000美元，然后連贏了41把。就在他們贏得的籌碼越變越大時，賭場安保人員發現了異常并懷疑這些賭客有作弊行為，但他們無法判定賭客是如何操作的。最終，賭場只兌付了60萬美元的籌碼，并堅稱這些賭客的贏錢行為對賭場不公。不過，14名賭客的代理律師則表示其當事人完全沒有錯，他指出，新澤西州沒有任何一條法律規定因賭場工作人員沒有洗牌而導致賭客贏錢是非法的。

A US casino is suing 14 gamblers after eight card decks had not been shuffled properly, resulting in winnings of more than $1.5m.
Golden Nugget Atlantic City Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is refusing to pay the gamblers their winnings as it maintains the game was illegal.
The 14 gamblers realized eight decks of playing cards had not been shuffled and were repeating their sequences. In light of this they increased their bets from $10 to $5,000, winning 41 consecutive hands of baccarat.
As the group continued to win increasingly more substantial amounts of money casino security began to suspect the individuals of cheating.
Security teams arrived, but were unable to establish how the wins were being achieved.
The casino eventually paid out just under $600,000 but refused to cash $977,000, which remain in chips.
The casino maintains that state gambling regulations require all casino games to be fair – to both sides.
The lawsuit against the gamblers maintains that although both sides began the game thinking it was balanced, the gamblers consecutive wins, and the increasing amount they had bet, indicates knowledge that the game was skewed against the casino.
However, Benjamin Dash, a lawyer representing the gamblers, has countered his clients did nothing wrong therefore still deserve to be paid the remainder of their winnings.
He said his clients "were denied their winnings. There is absolutely no law in New Jersey that would permit the Golden Nugget to declare the game illegal because it failed to provide shuffled cards."
This is not the first case of unshuffled cards to happen in Atlantic City.
In December the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, also in Atlanta, failed to preshuffled their cards, using the decks of cards for over three hours before it uncovered its mistake. The incident resulted in a $91,000 fine for the casino.
