I've posted this on Green Chip and one other site. The contents being of such rare occurrence, I felt it should be posted for all to read.
Enjoy!

The card counter hasn't "won" anything. The Mop Gaming Commission just responded to a written compaint and found the PB incorrectly voided a hand in progress. Missouri casinos effectively still have the same countermeasures available to them AC casinos do. It just means the Missouri 21 game will suck like AC's does
Where is the deception? It is already "like Atlantic City" as far as the gaming rules are concerned, except the gaming commission seems to be more fair than New Jersey's. Harrah's just tried to bully the advantage player out of the game illegally, as it is accustomed to doing legally in Vegas, Reno, Laughlin, etc.
That player should file a huge lawsuit against Harrah's, provided he can get a skilled attorney not beholden to the casino industry.
In order to show damages, he better have impeccable records of hours played and winnings. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the casino commission went after the PB, but that outcome will have zero effect on a counter's ability to win in Missouri as a result. I'm also happy to hear the Mo commission is fairer than the NJ a-holes, but again, how does this incident improve the playing conditions for a counter in Missouri? .
