Question-of-the-week
Will the Revel advantage players win or lose?
Revel Casino in New Jersey ran a promotion that offered gamblers a refund on losses between $100 and $100,000. Some advantage players devised a strategy that guaranteed they would come out winners. But even though the players never violated the rules, the players were told that their losses would not be refunded. The players filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. Will the players come out winners in the end? Besides answering the poll question, share your thoughts and your favorite advantage player stories. View poll
