A New York court determined New Jersey regulators should investigate a gambler’s claim that dice used at Golden Nugget Atlantic City were altered in a way that could be cheating.
New Yorker Wayne Chan sued the Golden Nugget in a Newark federal court in September 2021 after he lost more than $469,125 playing craps in 2018 and 2019. The casino sought $200,000 that he owed but Chan argued that he didn’t have to pay it because the games were unfair.
Chan claimed the casino marked the dice with the table number and used non-transparent dice in violation of New Jersey laws. The player told the casino about his concerns but Golden Nugget counsel said scribing the dice was an “industry recognized practice of which the (Division of Gaming Enforcement) and every other regulatory agency” was aware,.
