I did get him paid eventually but there really is no recourse if you're stiffed.
I hit a royal flush on let it ride at Prism Casino I think for 100.00 dollars a card. I had over a 100k balance. (130 maybe) Was gonna play with the 30 and cash the 100 out. Got 5K once and that was the end of it. Thought about going to Costa Rica, but was advised not to running the risk of not returning. Some crazy stories about the foreign owner having body guards and discharging a fire arm in the office to prove a point to the working operators. I became very friendly with one of the operators communicating with her with private e-mails when she was away from the office. She always took care of my bonuses, and whenever I had a cashout I would send her a small western union in her name.

Early on they would send me cheap cashouts cause I always kept depositing. This friend I had there didn't have much say about cashouts, but eventually she told me I would never see the 100k and to stop playing there.
