So, to curb their suspicions, management decided to use a "dealing box" which is currently known as a shoe.
- In 1978, New Jersey became the second state to legalize casino gambling in an attempt to revitalize the rundown resort area of Atlantic City. The legalization was restricted only to Atlantic City.
