How did the table allow the betting limit to be exceeded? Why didn't they stop it right at the time, and only wait until they lost to decide to retroactively enforce their own rules?
Apparently the pit boss knew something was up but didn't stop the game. Which squarely puts the fault in the casino. The casino could easily have closed that table.

ahem:
by passing money to fellow gamblers in order to place bets in excess of posted betting limits.
They posted a bet, and also gave some of their money to another player to post another bet, effectively circumventing the betting limits on individual players. That's not necessarily an obvious behavior. And if the casino didn't know the decks were rigged, why would they close the table and risk angering a bunch of high rollers?
Yes, I saw that. The limit generally applies per seat or per bet. A reference that this applies to a physical body of meat would be awesome.

To not have to pay out lots of money if something is wrong. But I guess they could just wait to see if the players don't end up giving it all back in the end.
