Ultimately, the casino allowed Phil to do what he did. They broke their internal controls, which allowed him to gain advantage over the casino.
Instead of going after Phil, why doesn’t the Borgata go after the managers that allowed him to break the rules?
Many years ago, I read an article that was entitled to some thing like “casino managers, live in a bubble “it basically talked about how the casino managers were afraid he was going to leave and take the winnings with him so they broke the rules to make him happy, which caused him to make More money. The Borgata and Phil Ivey came to a settlement agreement. The definition of a successful negotiation is neither party is happy; so I would not expect too much of a general public to be happy about the outcome as well.

So the fact is he lied to win, and their are laws protecting the casinos from such things as faulty cards etc. Yes, you can argue all day long about they should have done a better job proofing the batch of cards, but in essence, Ivey and friend, were using a marked deck to their advantage. Nothing honorable in his actions.

Absolutely their fault for using bad cards. He did NOT select any of the decks of cards, simply used what was presented to him. Hope that he NEVER pays them.
