SBR Bill Dozer reports: Islandcasino vs. Blackjack Player Update On 12/21/04 SBR reported:
Islandcasino (SBR rating C) confiscates player’s winnings of $11,400 claiming that he has cheated at black jack by using the help of a computer program, also known as a robot. The player has not been provided with any evidence of this. Islandcasino’s General Manager is out of the office until next week. SBR will investigate this complaint upon his return. Islandcasino is the sister site of Sportbet (SBR rating C).
Over the course of a month long investigation Island Casino failed to supply the game history logs or the exact play rate which was deemed to be "too fast". This was requested by SBR and the player. Island Casino’s General Manager, Jake, upheld the decision to keep the player’s winnings stating that Digital Gaming Solutions, their software provider, concluded that the player used a robot.
On 1/24/05 SBR spoke with one of the DGS software authors who was also the individual advising Island Casino. He stated that he did not believe it could be concluded that the player used a computer aid and that his play was “entirely possible” without the use of a robot.
The following day Jake had provided new information that suggested the player had multiple accounts with a history of bounced E-Checks. While Island Casino has yet to provide bank documents, SBR has questioned the player about these account details. The inconsistencies in the players story has lead us to believe he has not been completely forthright. SBR will no longer be assisting the player with his complaint.
