- If you find a glitch in a machine which makes it behave contrary to how it was intended, then I feel that's cheating and is wrong. An example was the Game King "double up" case. The guys busted for this deserved it. They were basically doing the same thing as repeatedly using an ATM which is overpaying. They're just lucky that the government was stupid and charged them with crimes which didn't apply to the case (lol computer hacking).
I could not agree more. If a case could not have been made by the government in that instance for intent to defraud something is definitely wrong. The government messed up the case big time. If that was not a clear case to defraud, I don't know what the hell is, and this goes way beyond when is a hand is over in video poker. Is there anyone else besides Dan and myself who thinks that the Game King play was unethical? I am not affraid to say that if I was aware of the play 10 to 15 years ago I do not think I would have would have had the balls "on what I consider cheating" to carry it through and would have passed on the play. Personally, over the years I have seen many, many cases of unethical behaviour on the casinos part and really enjoy when they get burnt somewhat by advantage players, but where is the line drawn? Imagine finding and using something like that play in the Mob run casino days how it would turn out?
