Poker pro Phil Ivey is yet another legal situation with a land based casino. This time it involves Atlantic City's Borgata.
Ivey and his associate are being accused of taking advantage of a flaw in the cards at a Baccarat table and taking the casino for $9.6 million with $25,000 to $100,000 bets per hand.
Ivey faced something similar in 2012 when he was accused of cheating at Mayfair Club Crockfords in the UK. The case is still pending at this time.
Borgata says that Ivey and his associate used edge sorting to obtain the advantage and violates New Jersey casino gambling regulations.
The problematic cards were created by Gemaco Inc., a Kansas City manufacturer, who has declined to comment at this time. In fact, Borgata senior vice president, Joe Lupo, refused to comment as did Ivey's legal representative.

Yeah, I read about it on different forum already - he always asked to get that Gemaco Inc. cards + to have "unknown" woman sitting next to him as he believes that makes him lucky + he was telling dealer the way he would like the cards to be shuffled LOL. I bet there was some kind of trick, winning every time? Come on..

Almost 10 milions, nice number :) It's true, every time when there is big winner at casino card games, casino has something to say about regularity. Their excuse is problematic cards, yeah right. It's their problem if they used faulty cards in high stake Baccarat.
