Las Vegas attorneys Bob Nersesian and Thea Sankiewicz have again won a case brought on behalf of a card counter in Las Vegas, battling the frequently over-zealous response against legal advantage play. This time it was an incident in 2001 at the New Frontier, where a legal advantage player was illegally backroomed and detained. The jury awarded $110,000, a $10,000 increase over what the plaintiff asked. However, the judge removed the possibility of a punitive damage award. Here's a link to the Las Vegas Sun article: http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/gaming/2005/sep/23/519404646.html Nice going Bob, Thea and David! Thanks to Al Rogers of bj21.com for the heads-up on this matter.
