This is the same as if you went in there playing $10/hand and won $250. This can be done without any rebate. It's likely they lowered or eliminated the rebate. Also, I wonder how many times and how much money he has lost in these stores that is not being publicized. AC may be using him a shill....publicizing the wins and keeping quiet about the losses.

Back in the "good old days" of Vegas, this went on all the time. I had even heard rumors that this was one of the methods used by casino owners to "skim" profits.jaygruden said:AC may be using him a shill....publicizing the wins and keeping quiet about the losses.
If they don't mind paying enormous taxes on the "skim," either that, or they have to manufacture huge offsets for Mr. Johnson's tax return. I don't think ownership wants to call attention to their skim, although there is some virtue in "hiding in plain sight."Sucker said:Back in the "good old days" of Vegas, this went on all the time.

The New Jersey Casino Control Commission has recently been down-sized to almost nothing. Hmmm....
