The fact they didn't care about the law I feel like you should unblur these criminals faces so the police can deal with them.

[@stevenbridges]

Yeah the blurring thing is actually not a legal thing. Like, as far as I'm aware there's no legal requirement for me to blur any of the faces. There's a few reasons I do it: - So people aren't motivated to sue me (it would be baseless but baseless lawsuits can still be expensive) - Because I don't want them to get doxed or harassed. The phrase 'punishment fits the crime' comes to mind and being doxed is a pretty traumatic thing to experience. - Because my main issue is with the casinos themselves, and less with the people in them. Sure, I think that last guy was a dick, but I don't think I'd even want him to have hundreds of thousands of people verbally attack him online. However I wouldn't hesitate in sending all the un blurred videos to police/gaming if I thought it would do something.

[@Andrew_Young]

@@whammaster do you know that for a fact? At least sometimes, when you are the one suing and the suit is likely to succeed then there are lawyers that might work on contingency. So, they would take the case and wouldn't be paid by the hour, but they will take a portion of whatever you win (say 30%-50%).

[@whammaster]

@@Andrew_Young "Do you know that for a fact" that is insanely charged wording to respond with. Cases that the casino knows they will lose is them settling out of court. Or what you explained. It is a process for the lawyer to maintain a winning track record with their firm so they can be placed on higher end cases later. No one wants a lawyer that constantly losses in court.

[@PvblivsAelivs]

Actively breaking the law? Put down your team colors for the moment. There is no law prohibiting their ID requirement. And suing the casino is pointless. They can simply request confirmation of the identity of the person suing them and cut you a check, also putting your information in a database of unwelcome individuals. They are required to cash out your chips. They are not required to let you stay anonymous. They have powerful lobbyists helping to write laws in their favor. And not a lot of people are that concerned with their privacy.

@@jonathans3878 The problem is that there are no consequences to ignoring the law, so they'll just break it like it doesn't exist. This a hard thing in general where the right to refuse service runs up against other rights and the courts aren't (or don't want to) intervene. For example, you can't ban someone from your shop for being black, but you can refuse to do business with them without specifying a reason why. And it takes a court identifying a pattern of behavior and intervening to make anything change. If Steven went back, he'd likely be told he couldn't play, without any justification. And there would be nothing in the moment he could do that would make the casino budge.

So with this and a few other videos of your from months past, I've learned a few things about even my casino of choice. So I'd like to lay it out how I found from you to do. 1) If you enter this casino you may ask the counter before you play what their personal id cashing limit is without repercussion because they have it laminated. 2) do not as a pit boss because they will call security to politely escort you out. 3) there's a special exemption for long time players whom have the loyalty card and that raises the casinos limit to 25,000 before they need to do paper work. 4) this casino, when suspected of counting, will politely ask the dealer to stop accepting all bets, and each player at the table will be asked to cash out even if only 1 person is counting to ensure there is not an accomplice. 5) If a person who is banned by the gaming commission, looks similar to you, you will be asked to go to a private room where 2 security guards will be waiting and asked for id. If the person is cleared (it takes 2 hours for a full background check) you will be compensated 500$ worth of play.

I worked in a Ladbrokes 5-6 years ago and they would pretty much do the same there to anyone who would win over £1500 more than once from Horse betting because they had ''insider information'. I would have the security team literally call me up and tell me to investigate random customers, try and find out their name by trying to befriend them and then 10 minutes later they would limit every single one of there bets to a £25 max stake or £50 if they would sign up to 'The Grid' where they essentially have access to all of your information and freeze all the money in your account as soon as you win a significant amount.. the same thing that guy tried to do with you 'get a players card' (I've seen this several times) I knew then these places were dodgy then but for some reasons I thought casinos were different.. clearly not.

One of the few channels I will watch full ads on to support. Great content!

[@stevenbridges]

Thank you mate! 😃

[@TheTubePoweredOne]

The Olive Garden question genuinely had me in suspense, I won't lie.

[@kushkingla7385]

2 things. Try to find a players card in a slot machine, players leave them all the time. Second, cash out a smaller amount and then come back after shift change.

[@tgiles8600]

Wow, can't believe I saw this as it came out. Love the series

[@stevenbridges]

Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃

[@WellHelloSilly]

Bro, please NEVER count your winnings in a transitional space. Ie: Standing with your car door open and counting lots of $ with little attention to your surroundings. Just don't wanna see you get hurt or anything from something that could have been avoided. Just be safe and sound before getting complacent about your surroundings. Great video BTW! Keep em coming 👍

[@Boudicca-the-musical]

If you sue for unlawful detainer of the money, you can top up your winnings with a few more thousand. That's even easier than card counting.

[@aidanmaloney9718]

I love that you show the evils and illigalities of these casinos. Even for non card counters it's important to see that the law is what the institution's feel like because nobody even fucking knows it.

[@matthewbloom19]

I love these videos, you're doing the right thing out there! keep it up!!

[@stevenbridges]

Thank you!

[@T3RoCh0C1NC0gt]

Series is very exciting! If this gets bigger, I wonder how long you can keep this going. Best of luck!

[@stevenbridges]

Yeah the more successful the videos, the harder it is to play. But I do have other series ideas

[@tylerhassey5210]

I discovered these videos just a couple days ago and have been binge watching them like my life depended on it, love the content, and I’ve actually seen a card counter in action at Choctaw Casino in Oklahoma (from Texas where gambling is illegal :/) and made the horrible decision to sit at his table, he was very obvious with it taking sometimes up to 30 seconds to make a decision whether to hit or stand with what I believe to be a 5 deck shoe, after about 2 1/2 hours he was never backed off and had won so much that he was tipping $100s to the dealer for “luck” and buying everyone at the table drinks of their choice TL;DR: Choctaw Casino doesn’t seem to care if you’re counting and it’s an absolutely massive casino

[@zergreenone8111]

Sounds to me like he doesn't actually know what he's doing and was just getting lucky. Tipping tons of money to the dealer sounds like it would destroy the player's edge over the casino. I'm sure he was trying his best to use some system to beat the casino, but the ostentatious display of wealth makes it sound to me like he's trying his best to appear successful without really being successful.

You're an animal on the casino floor bro, it's really cool to watch it. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@JonathanChute]

For the second casino, I may be wrong. But if they did think you were under 21 they would still have to cash you out, but then not let you play any games until you produce ID - it doesn't make sense that they'd be able to withhold your money - even if you were underage.

[@kolmogorovaxiom1493]

The only way that would be fair is if they were also required to refund losses to underage gamblers, which you know they won’t do

[@Chareads]

Not being able to get in touch with a police department isn't just an issue for gamblers, it undermines the value of the whole justice system. Sorry the law didn't even have your back but you got out of these situations safely x

[@zekebones34]

You should carry a copy of that state’s gaming commission laws on you. You already know what BS they’re gonna pull so you find the statutes before hand and just point to it

[@stevenbridges]

Yes this is a good idea

[@rdizzy1]

They don't give a shit what the law is in most of these places. They (like many other corporations) know for a fact that most normal people cannot possibly stand up to their lawyers in court for lower amounts of money, and that the court costs alone will bankrupt most people, so they take advantage of this.

[@SpiteBellow]

Dude I have to say it's not just gaming, it's LOUSIANA POLICE. I travelled through there and got nothing but voicemails

[@brianmaloney45]

It's amazing how many companies or police departments think that "policy" equates to law.

1. Gaming control is an absolute joke. Have called a multitude of times in different areas of the country and it’s worse than the id dance. 2. Absolutely envy how well you handle yourself against the casino. It’s good to see I’m not the only one that’s had escalations. 3. You make this job a whole lot more entertaining that it actually is. Peace and love!

Outside of Nevada, very very few casinos in the U.S. care in the slightest about the laws that oversee them. A local casino in NY near me has never had their computerized machines, especially slots, at the legal payout rates. They've had their slots set to payout jackpot thousands of plays higher than the legal maximum.

[@Sitheonly]

Steven, as an American born and raised in the south, that’s the last place where establishments will actually respect the law. If they have authority, they’ll abuse it. Trying to explain the law to any authority in the south is like trying to explain the law to a criminal. They don’t care, it’s purely ego and pride over all and it’s biggest in the south. Takes priority over reason. That and they don’t take British people seriously. You’re better off trying call the cops on them and of course get the most informed highest cop. There’s a chance they’ll withhold it with their job on the line.

[@nevillemosley5567]

Really enjoying your content. Very frustrated with some of the backoff cash out procedures. I have taken to sending messages to the particular casinos, saying that I have viewed their illegal bullying online then asking if it is a safe place for me to be able to take my family. Not sure whether you can use your footage as evidence in court proceedings but a third party potentially could. When you add up the number of casinos behaving poorly, it may well be worth someone following these casinos up legally?

[@jo3ywils0n39]

I wonder what kind of damages could be pursued against these casinos. They're outright breaking the law and I can only think that in front of a jury this would become very apparent.

[@JJ3nkins89]

The city / county will protect the casino at all cost. Not the casino goer.

Nothing. Do you know the cost of a lawsuit?

[@thomasgall703]

Steven when you get denied a cashout and if you want to file a lawsuit, will you just get the original amount you intended to cashout? Or is it a large settlement like if they were to hold you against your will?

Larger settlement I imagine
