Two thoughts:
1. I hope those casinos/public offcials who act in illegal ways get thier just due.
Illegal acts include violation of a persons civil/human rights,illegal detainment, Battery, Improper/illegal use of the Nevada Trespass statute, theft, violation of financiel privacy, false allegations, false arrest, etc.etc.
2. I am anxious to see how the BJ game is changed after the legal heat comes down. Remember what happened in Atlantic City after the Uston legal battle.
What gets me is how paranoid the casinos are about there bottom line. SOmeone has to win sometime. Even the carnival games allow that vis a vis the recent mega bucks slot win or is that an illusion? Time will tell. Great read! How about you casino people out there who visit this site give us your view. LTC

Dear Editor,
In response to your story, "CIVIL LIBERTIES: Disadvantaged" which appeared in the July 6 issue, by Ron Smith. The author is to be congratulated for his excellent and thorough account of casino abuse of advantage players.
All casinos should be forced to post a clearly visible sign at their entrance. It should state the unspoken policies they enforce:
Dear prospective casino patron, we reserve the right to:
1) Prohibit all those from playing who have demonstrated they are able to win consistently.
2) Share your personal and private financial information and your digital image with other casinos and investigative agencies.
3) Detain you against your will, without reading you your rights, allowing you to make a phone call, or allowing you to have a lawyer present.
4) Confiscate your legitimate and legally obtained winnings.
5) Humiliate and intimidate you in a public place, when you have broken no laws.
6) Use physical force when necessary to carry out any of the above.
7) Ensure other casinos will do the same to you when you enter.
I am an advantage player, winning consistently at blackjack for years. I am also a respected scholar, a professor of Computer Science at a major university, a family man, and an honest man. I have been subjected to many of the abuses listed above, multiple times. I have repeatedly written to Gaming Control Board Chairman Dennis Neilander to complain about these abuses. Like Mr. Smith, I received no response.
It is time for the elected officials of the state of Nevada to take charge, and start doing something about this rampant abuse of our civil rights.
Sincerely,
Eliot Jacobson
