Slot player awarded $499k by Mohegan Tribal Court *LINK*

[BlackJackHack]

Can somebody run a simulation as to which is more likely:

(1) winning a $499k jackpot from a slot machine
(2) falling off of a broken chair and winning $499k in a tribal court

How did that case ever get so far?

I can't believe the tribe even allowed themselves to be sued, given they have sovereign immunity.

State of CT likes to turn the screws on them

Every time one of the casinos in CT gets out of line we threaten to put slot machines in our parimutuel facilities like many other states have. They don't like that idea very much, and they have agreed to more or less abide by state law in exchange for this not being done.

CA tribes need to be treated much the same
