This article says the prosecution case fall apart. This basically means they didn’t have enough evidence to move forward. That doesn’t mean they didn’t have a case.
There’s some questions left unananswerd. For example, how did some gamblers (or APs if you like) who live in Vegas find out about a very vulnerable slot game in Illinois? I get that the prosecution wasn’t able to link them to anybody at the casino or the slot manufacture, but this doesn’t mean their wasn’t a link. This could have been an inside job. Sounds to me like they did a good job covering their tracks.
Note that the casino sued the slot manufacture too. Again, there is a lot more to this case than you’re reading here. How did a game this vulnerable make it to the floor? Sounds like something fishy is going on.
Obviously, since the casino didn’t have enough evidence to move forward with the case, the gamblers are going to counter sue for being falsely arrested. Anybody would do this. As Mickey said, the gamblers will probably get a big settlement. This happens all the time. It’s easier for big business to pay these people off to make them go away then to fight it.
As Ron Singer has already said, I wouldn’t be so gullible when you read these type of articles. Common sense should tell you there is more to this case than what the press is telling you...
