It seems strange that it wasn't noticed? The mentioned game is meant to have fewer dealers operating it, but it says pretty explicitly that it should be supervised and have >=1 dealer.

The company says the table can be operated by a single dealer, and many casinos do just that... It's a cost-saving measure that they can get away with because the electronic table doesn't use betting chips; but it also means that there are less eyes to spot the cheaters.

When the betting and cash in/out process is handled entirely digitally... surely the dice roll is about the only thing the dealer is even handling? I just don't understand how they don't notice the lack of them rolling.

Are you trying to argue that it goes from illegal to legal as long as no one is watching?

How did you read that out of his response?

I think he just is asking how the dealer didn't notice the cheating.

I don't see any arguments their making. They simply stated/asked a question, then provided some information and a citation.

I'm baffled at how that is somehow an endorsement of cheating and that its okay to cheat if no one sees them?

I don't think anyone is arguing that it should be considered a valid roll. But being illegal in the criminal sense? No way, that's a bit much.
