Isn't it funny how fate works? The guards working for the Las Vegas Imperial
Casino were s afraid that James Grosjean was ripping them off that the detained
him and roughed him up to make sure that he got the point. the funny thing is
that he got the point already. The almost two hundred thousand dollar
point that let him know to sue the casino for its unjust conduct on that evening
in 2000.
The case was set when member of the gaming control board admitted to
telling the guards that they had no right to detain the men and that they should
release them immediately, only the guards in question did not release him and
instead subjected him to a second body search after already having detained them
for forty-five minutes.
In the first round of ruling Grosjean was actually allotted five hundred
thousand dollars in compensation but after his friends testimony about his head
being bashed into the wall was declared false the amount was decreased to a
little less then two hundred thousand dollars. This most recent trial against
the Las Vegas casino might allow the gambler to go home with almost four hundred
thousand dollars. The irony also comes in on the fact that Grosjean actually
wrote a book about how the average gambler can beat the odds in the big
casino, and he certainly found the way...get beat-up and then sue, that what I
call a good old fashioned American jackpot.
