Exciting court cases from the world of gaming
There are times when there is disagreement between the gaming bench operators and players. Sometimes the disagreements are even brought to court because both players and the gaming bank operator sued the other party. We’ve looked at what are the most exciting cases that have made it to date in court.
Indictment against Isle Spielbank Hotel
A supposedly happy slot player believed in her big win. However, the cascading bank operators told her that she did not really win because there was a malfunction in the machine. The player was already a proud 87-year-old and saw an ad on her screen promising to win millions of dollars.
In addition, the player had almost never tried her luck at the kiosk before, which made the thing even more incredible. But the slot she played wasn’t actually able to pay out such high profits. It was the Miss Kitty Slot and there is a maximum of $10,000 to win. The casino now reviewed the alleged win and found that she had actually not even won 2 dollars.
The player then sued the gaming bench, but unfortunately lost the case. The gaming bank operators and also the court argued that the slot was not programmed on such high profits – a shame for the player!
Blackjack Professional vs. Resorts International
Player Ken Uston is responsible for his Blackjackcareer and exceptional strategy. He has also published books and thus passed his knowledge on to the general public. The game bank found its card counter strategy to be anything but legal, so the player was banned from all casinos. The Blackjack player successfully sued against being excluded from New Jersey’s gaming banks. Since he does not endanger visitors, the prohibition is impermissible, according to the court.
Gamer sues Valve
In 2016, there was also an exciting case in the world of esports: Some teenagers sued the manufacturer of the well-known Counter Strike Global Offensive game. The background: Gambling was made available on the platform. This is the Steam platform where things are actually bought and sold. Gambling is illegal. Even minors were allowed to play there, because the operators did not check the age. Unfortunately, the adolescents had no success with their complaint and the case was rejected.
High Roller sues Las Vegas gaming banks
This case also went through the US: In the past, Sheila King had enjoyed playing with a small stake.

Irgendwann beschloss sie aber, zur High Rollerin zu werden. Damit hatte sie Erfolg, schnell wurde die glückliche Frau an den Online Casino Spielautomaten zur Millionärin. Die Casinos hatten Freude an ihr und sorgten dafür, dass sie an ihren Lieblingsslots immer Zugang hatte. Technische Arbeiten wurden während ihres Spiels ebenfalls nicht durchgeführt.
Leider endete aber irgendwann ihre Glückssträhne. Sie behauptete, die Casinos seien schuld. Mit dieser Klage hatte die Amerikanerin aber leider keinen Erfolg und musste zusehen, wie ihre Gewinne langsam immer weiter schwanden.
