That all sounds good and I'm sure we all want to believe it BUT the facts are the casinos have been caught red-handed gaffing machines (see Larry Volk) and fixing drawings (see Venetian scandal). Also the much ballyhoed "they won't do it because they'll lose their license" is weak since neither the Venetian nor any of the casinos in the Larry Volk scandal lost their licenses for even a single second.
