One final thing about this case, that I don't know if I am even allowed to voice my opinion about. I was not thrilled with the outcome of this case. Yes I received a settlement worth several years of my average earnings. That was nice. But that settlement was more or less like a personal injury type settlement. And that is not what I wanted this case to be about. I wanted the casino and casino personnel held responsible for happened on the casino floor as much as what happened in the backroom. I wanted it to be about the illegal detention and illegal arrest (because that is what it was), so other casinos would stop doing this kind of shit. But it became clear for that to come about I would have needed to go the distance and give up my identity.

And one of the selling points to me to settle for what I could get, was that the NGC, would probably take a look at this incident and issue their own penalty or fine to the casino.....an extra punitive type thing. Now almost a year after the initial incident and 6 months after the settlement, I see no evidence of that type of thing occurring. But then again, the NGC has never really been on the side of the players have they?
