we have a number of different things, including one of the last 1961 blue books from the kansas city card company. the issue of cheating in gaming was largely resolved beginning in the 1940s when the state of nevada became much more active in the control of gambling. and one of the issues that they had is they had to clean up gaming. i think there was a tremendous concern by the state of nevada, the federal authorities at some point might come in and if they found cheating in gaming, they would institute federal legislation, so the state took it upon themselves to develop rules for gaming that would prevent cheating, and today, when you really think about it, a gaming house, a casino operation, that has put millions of dollars invested into a hotel and a casino is not going to go out and cheat and risk their license. they still have problems today with regard to customers cheating and forms of that, but the state of nevada's gaming control board officers are constantly trying to police gaming to make certain that there's no cheating involved. in the case down here, we have one of the
