As far as randomness is concerned, it would tend to cause fewer hands before the progressive is hit because most bad players tend to overplay toward the royal. As to whether their "barring" of good players is legal is basically the same thing as "barring" blackjack card counters. The Nevada authorities tend to always side with the casino here by saying that anything that is good for the casinos is good for the state. Since the state has a financial stake in the casinos (taxes) they really are not impartial. I think this can be made into very bad publicity for the casino and that is the best way to strike back. They really do not want advantage players but only suckers!

I have heard that the Orleans has hired someone to identify "better"
players and these individuals are then "put off" progressives when
they reach into positive territory.
They are not barred from the Orleans but are prohibited from playing
progressives.
If this is the case, if all the better players are denied the
opportunity to hit the royal, then only tourists or non knowledgeable
people will be playing and this will result in extended play and more
profits for the casino.
Question- - - Does this influence the randomness factor in any way?
Are the Civil Rights of the "advantage" players being trampled on?
Is this something that should be brought to the attention of the
authorities?
