What's central in a prosecution for gaming fraud is intent.
So for example, if somebody was just intoxicated and sloppy
and didn't realize the cards had been dealt,
or didn't realize that they had moved chips
to a position on the table that constituted a wager,
it would be a defense, if there was no intent
to defraud the house.
So what's really important is we have
to obtain the videos that show the activity of the player.
And it's central to the prosecution's ability
to successfully prosecute these cases,
to have the video, so they can prove that the person wasn't
merely making a mistake, as opposed
to committing a crime while gaming.
