I did, however, expect something could be done in the ONLY machine mode where when a hand is "over" it really isn't over. But when that light upstairs suddenly came on (ie, I caught the bill feeder light being on out of the corner of my eye before the hand was "really over") then my efforts seemed worth it.
To be honest, I truly didn't know and still don't, if what I did was illegal or not. I do not know if just because the feds dropped the case, if that meant what I did was legal. I always felt the state could keep pursuing a case. I try to rationalize the fact that I refused to ever use an existing hand I did not play for or hit, and how I never used any winners I hit more than once, as the moral equivalency of it possibly being legal. But that's all I have. The way the Kane case closed down helped, but because it seemed sloppy and you can never 100% trust anything when it comes to issues like this, it didn't guarantee anything to me. That's why I waited out the 10 years.
Dan, ATM's are a COMPLETELY different animal. You know that.
