美國(guó)新澤西州大西洋城的一家賭場(chǎng)日前對(duì)14位賭客提起訴訟，稱(chēng)賭客玩百家樂(lè)時(shí)用的八副牌未經(jīng)洗牌，由此，其贏得的150多萬(wàn)美元應(yīng)為非法所得。據(jù)悉，這14名賭客在玩百家樂(lè)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)，牌桌上用的8副撲克牌一直都沒(méi)有洗牌，而是在按相同的順序不斷循環(huán)出現(xiàn)。于是，他們將籌碼從10美元提高到5000美元，然后連贏了41把。就在他們贏得的籌碼越變?cè)酱髸r(shí)，賭場(chǎng)安保人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了異常并懷疑這些賭客有作弊行為，但他們無(wú)法判定賭客是如何操作的。最終，賭場(chǎng)只兌付了60萬(wàn)美元的籌碼，并堅(jiān)稱(chēng)這些賭客的贏錢(qián)行為對(duì)賭場(chǎng)不公。不過(guò)，14名賭客的代理律師則表示其當(dāng)事人完全沒(méi)有錯(cuò)，他指出，新澤西州沒(méi)有任何一條法律規(guī)定因賭場(chǎng)工作人員沒(méi)有洗牌而導(dǎo)致賭客贏錢(qián)是非法的。

A US casino is suing 14 gamblers after eight card decks had not been shuffled properly, resulting in winnings of more than $1.5m.
Golden Nugget Atlantic City Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is refusing to pay the gamblers their winnings as it maintains the game was illegal.
The 14 gamblers realized eight decks of playing cards had not been shuffled and were repeating their sequences. In light of this they increased their bets from $10 to $5,000, winning 41 consecutive hands of baccarat.
As the group continued to win increasingly more substantial amounts of money casino security began to suspect the individuals of cheating.
Security teams arrived, but were unable to establish how the wins were being achieved.
The casino eventually paid out just under $600,000 but refused to cash $977,000, which remain in chips.
The casino maintains that state gambling regulations require all casino games to be fair – to both sides.
The lawsuit against the gamblers maintains that although both sides began the game thinking it was balanced, the gamblers consecutive wins, and the increasing amount they had bet, indicates knowledge that the game was skewed against the casino.
However, Benjamin Dash, a lawyer representing the gamblers, has countered his clients did nothing wrong therefore still deserve to be paid the remainder of their winnings.
He said his clients "were denied their winnings. There is absolutely no law in New Jersey that would permit the Golden Nugget to declare the game illegal because it failed to provide shuffled cards."
This is not the first case of unshuffled cards to happen in Atlantic City.
In December the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, also in Atlanta, failed to preshuffled their cards, using the decks of cards for over three hours before it uncovered its mistake. The incident resulted in a $91,000 fine for the casino.
