Stones in New Motion to Dismiss Mike Postle Lawsuit: “Casinos Do Not Owe a General Duty of Care to Gamblers"

On Wednesday, April 8, King’s Casino Management Corp, the parent company to Stones Gambling Hall, filed an updated motion to dismiss the pending $10 million civil suit against it relating to the Mike Postle cheating scandal.

In early March, Stones had filed their original motion to dismiss in which they infamously stated: "This lawsuit reflects the oldest complaint of gamblers — that their lack of success means they were cheated."

At that point, the plaintiffs, represented by noted gaming attorney Maurice “Mac” VerStandig, had the chance to amend their complaint and made new allegations, increased specificity, and added plaintiffs to the lawsuit.
