Three video poker players have reached a final out-of-court settlement after a six-year saga where they filed a lawsuit to recoup their gambling losses from 48 Florida video poker operators. The operators had been allegedly offering payouts greater than the $125 per day allowed by Florida law. After 6 years the 48th operator finally agreed to settle for an unnamed amount. Link
The settlement ends a six-year lawsuit that began as a class-action case filed against 48 video poker operators by former gamblers who claimed video gambling operators fed their addictions by offering illegal payouts.
All of the operators but Collins and his firm settled. Seven gamblers initially were named in Collins' suit but four had dropped out since the first trial, which ended in a mistrial after jurors were unable to agree on a verdict. Collins' second trial started last week.
The real question here is, were the settlements enough to give their video poker sessions a positive expectation? :)
