described himself as a "professional gambler"
Fun article, hilarious how they make him look in his picture like peadophile/herowin addict in the picture.
So much herowin in this thread

Why do you think it will certainly be settled out of court Alun, they have had plenty of time to sort it and surely Mayfair Casino must not have thought Ivey will have just forgot about the money?

Because neither of them will want to lose and both Ivey and casinos hate negative (or any) publicity. Can't imagine either being super keen to go to court.

Pretty surprised they didn't just pay and then ban him.
Publicity so far must be pretty bad.
If just one Arab high roller sees this and is scared he's not going to be paid if he wins and stops playing there it will cost them far more than they are quibbling with Ivey over.

They should have never aired this in public.
Genting Worldwide pls V a Gambler.
Genting Casino. There in control of the game and the environment.
So a judge asks
Who Supplied the cards, dealers, inspectors, management and security, Everything was down to the house it's private property and they took the chance to take him on.
What are they moaning about!
I really can't see how Genting will win this. They dropped the ball V the wrong punter.

Facing a $9.6 million lawsuit from The Borgata, Ivey is now taking his fight public and will appear on 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime on Tuesday October 7. CBSNews.com released a look into the story on Tuesday which provides some insight into Ivey’s expected defense – that edge sort isn’t cheating.

Although it's a bit shady from Ivey, surely blame lies within the casino? They should have changed the dealer/ deck of cards etc, to control the conditions. Don't let him keep playing to the point of winning millions and then refuse to pay out.

I agree with what you say apart from "Although it's a bit shady from Ivey"

Ivey's barrister, Richard Spearman, represented Naomi Campbell in a well known privacy case. Probably also a man to call for a superinjunction, I would expect
Very hard to see why Genting would ever risk the rep of Crockford's as a high rollers den by not paying out here unless they think they have a cast iron case against Ivey in a court of law. I agree they should pay. They pandered to his every whim to suck him in then did their dough on a game of chance with a tiny edge. Just pay Genting and protect your rep for the high rollers you iron out year after year at Crockford's. Pretty sure they will win the case though otherwise it would never have gone to court in the first place. They would have just weighed him in if they had any doubt they would lose.
