| Yes myb initial deposit was 1k. I started with table limits of 10 and 1000 and they were upped several times over the next few session to finally stop at $5000 min and $10,000 max. I played mostly $10,000 hands. Nothing made me confident I would win. I just played the game. Remember that I was cut off. I didn't stop playing, the game was removed. |

Thank you |
A robot is just a program that plays the game for you. It basically does all the clicking for you. I've not seen any but most programmers could write a program to do it but it needs to recognise the cards perfectly. Microgaming built the feature in with the new software (called autoplay). |

You seem to be evading the question about how much you've invested in total. How did you get the $70k balance at Delano's? What was the deposit there? |

I told Wizard of Odds about this and asked whether he'd been in contact with the lucky pirate and he replied with:

I assumed they would have been in contact so maybe Wiz knows something we don't. |

$400. in total all deposits at all RTG casino's about 100k over the course of 2 years maybe. |

It's getting more and more unlikely now that you won without exploiting a weakness in the software.
$1k to $million+ has a likelihood of less than 1 in 1000 so you were very lucky but to also go from $400 to 70k (less than 1% chance) is pushing it a bit. |

There was a 2000 max on that table and the 70,00 is what is left. My total was about 96,000
Also RTG examined the software and concluded it was fine and the player got lucky. |

Did that guy really say, "There are two things I don't break to nobody: my balls and my word?"
LMAO!
That's a classic line from Al Pacino in Scarface. |

I dont know the odds, but $1000 to $1,000,000 is doable with $10,000 max hand limits. That's only a 100 unit profit once you get up to the limit. I have gone from $100 or less to between $2000 and $3000 about a half dozen times. Almost made it up to the max hand. If I did it would have been all downhill from there... |

Here is the Tony Scarface quote:
All I got's my two balls and my word - and I don't break 'em or nobody.
Here is the RTG Scamface quote:
There are two tings I don't break for nobody - my balls and my word.
I do believe he stole the line. He even simulated the accent. What a POS? How can you steal a classic line like that? It's one ting to stiff someone out of 1.3 million dollars, but pirating a classic Scarface line is just too much. |

My last go at the table saw me go thru about $300,000 down to a balance of about 75,000 before my last upward swing. This was a gradual ascent over several sessions with one final blowout. I got lucky. Real lucky. That's really all there is to it. |

You may not have "cheated" but I think you somehow found a flaw or a way to generate a player edge. I think this because you only played RTG casinos and only Carribbean BJ (which you will have to explain the rules to me).
Even if true, I still think you are entitled to get paid but they are entitled to get rid of or "fix" the game and/or block you from playing again.
For that kind of money, I don't see why you played at ALL questionable and ALL similar casinos in that they were ALL RTG and ALL had the same game which is not a common one. My casinos don't have Carribbean 21 for instance.
Hopefully, the whole truth comes out here... |

The vendor already checked the software. It came out fine. As for only playing RTG casinos this is not true. I have accounts with a few of the major software providers. I happen to favor RTG's Caribbean 21, yes, but it's not the only game I play. My favor is also not due to my finding some secret or edge. I just like the action of the game and as others have said it's a volitale game. If you are lucky enough to catch a run you can build your balance quickly. This is no secret. It also can go just as fast as it came. Again no secret. I personally hope they bring the game back but this is not up to me. Time will tell. |

| I can't say for everyone, but I know I have played WAY beyond reason after a winning streak, so who knows what any of us would have done in the same situation. And I don't find it neccessarily unusual to play the same game at another RTG casino. I always play JokerPoker at certain casinos, and PowerPokerJ's or better at others..That's what I ususally win with, so why wouldn't I? And commenting on a post a litle further back about playing sor those stakes at any RTG...not everyone is as on-line casino savvy as others, I know I played at a few when I was starting out that I wouldn't visit now. There are alot of players who don't visit the various forums, and are not aware of some of the reputations of some casinos. Anyway, there are a few RTG's I play at monthly, and have not had any problems, and received fast pay-outs (same day) and great cs. |

This is a quote from the casino guy in the second recording: | Quote: | | "I think you're gonna have to think about this and rethink your priorities and see where you wanna be. I'm not talking about bringing law enforcement into the picture. That's always a possibility but I'm not gonna go down that road. What I'm talking about. I dont wanna meet in another point on the road and then you'll find out what we do here and let me just tell you then, you (sic) will be no turning back. You won't be able to get back to the point where we are right now. Right now we are standing here like friends." |

| I think you should get to court over this matter dont talk to them anymore m8. they plainly jusy dont want to pay you. if these casinos are totally random as they tell you then how can you cheat? the only way to cheat is if they have a program in use to control your winnings?and is that legal?? |

Now Hamptons Casino have released their own phone recording. It's apparently a 6 minute excerpt from a 30 minute conversation. It would have been nice if they'd included the whole thing.
http://www.hamptoncasino.com/conversation.mp3
Ron Lewin is the Hamptons casino manager in the conversations.
Pirate claims he was playing along with Ron and didn't actually use a robot.
Also listen to the recordings on the first part of this thread where he denies using a robot. |

By the way, if a robot was programmed that helped Pirate win, then it means the RTG casino software was insecure and unsafe for casinos to use. A robot wouldn't normally give a player any further advantage.
The game being played didn't have a player advantage so it shouldn't matter whether a robot was used. It isn't a good reason to void payment. |

| There is another possibility to consider here. Maybe this casino does not have the funds to pay out. I don't know if so-called RTG casinos are like a fast-food franchise where there is a one big corporation that controls all of the casinos. If not, if its just the Hamptons that is responsible for their own financial mess, they simply may not have the money. This Pirate guy may have indeed broken the bank. If so, if I were him I'd just try to settle for as high an amount as I could and move on. |
