I expected the punitive to be higher
strongly agree
In today's world of lawsuites, Griffin got off with less than a slap on the wrist. Sure they have probably a ton of legal fees but they deserved a damaging or lethal blow.
My hope would be that this case will lead to others and then perhaps when assesing damages a jury will realize that this is a pattern of behavior and give Griffin what they deserve.

Mad ness sure madness
During the trial Beverly cried poor mouth. In fact she clammed up during trial about her net wealth. Ther real punitive damage was in the deal between Caesars and Russo/Grossjean. The only shame in this whole trial was the fact that the laws and beliefs that are the foundation to these incidents are still intact. It was a shame that the corruption that exists between the triangle of conspiracy between Griffin, the casinos and the dumb/corrupt NGC is still going to conduct business as usual. At least the public is able to recognize truth from lies.

Caesars Settlement
Radar_O'Reilly comments -
James and Mike have agreed to a settlement with Caesars. The jury's verdict that Caesars was guilty of false imprisonment and defamation of character with malice will stand. The jury awarded punitive damages against Caesars and a settlement of these damages satisfactory to all parties has been reached. The amount of the settlement cannot be publicly disclosed. Part of the settlement is that neither Caesars nor James and Mike will appeal the verdict or settlement amounts.

Your thoughts...
I value your opinion has you have replied to me before...
Basically this decision says you can't Back Room people anymore for advantage play, etc...
My issue is the front room is wide open. At the hint of AV play you are going to get tossed, right?
Seems like the paranoia will be even greater, right?

Not sure you ever could
I don't believe casino security ever could backroom people just for advantage play. It's for suspicion of cheating, and only for the purpose of detaining you for police. So if they try to backroom you, and you sit in your chair and say "If you think I've done something illegal, call the police, I'll wait right here for them" there's no reason for them to touch you. It appears any backrooming of AP's they've done has been something they've gotten away with, which is slightly different than something that is allowed.
