JACKSON, Miss. The Mississippi Supreme Court has upheld a Tunica County jury's award of 60-thousand dollars to a former casino employee who was fired in a case involving former Tennessee Titan Yancey Thigpen.

The case arose after a Grand Casino employee refused to alter the shuffle of a blackjack game in which Thigpen was a player.

According to the court record, Pat Cuneo refused to ask a dealer to change the shuffle in an effort to break Thigpen's streak of winning hands.

Cuneo filed her lawsuit shortly after she was fired in 1999.

The Supreme Court rejected Grand Casino's challenge to the jury award in 2004 representing her lost wages and benefits.

Casinos use set shuffle patterns to prevent collusion between dealers and players. They can deviate from the pattern when a player is suspected of counting cards or identifying cards in the shuffle.

Cuneo said in her lawsuit that Thigpen, who had previously suffered heavy losses at the Grand, was not a card counter.
