MGM Resorts International has been accused of cheating players at its flagship casino property, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, by using a so-called double deck blackjack game. The accusations have been made by a player known only as “John Doe”, who has filed a lAWSuit against the company.
John Doe alleges that he was cheated out of $800,000 in losses at the casino by being given cards that were not his own. He claims that the cheating was carried out by the casino’s employees and that they were aided and abetted by MGM management.
The accusation of cheating at a major casino property has serious implications for MGM. If it is proven that the company knowingly engaged in conduct that led to large losses for its players, it could face heavy fines or even be forced to close down its operations.
MGM has vigorously denied the allegations and says that it will vigorously defend itself in court. However, given the gravity of the accusations, it is likely that MGM will have to take some action in order to clear its name.
In particular, it will likely have to provide evidence that it did not know about or approve of the cheating activity.
