What is the best way for more than 100 casinos that signed similar arbitration contracts to litigate their antitrust claims against a company that sells automated card-shuffling machines?
Is it for each of the casinos to arbitrate individually against the company, Light & Wonder, in more than 100 separate proceedings before an array of arbitrators who might well reach contradictory conclusions about legal and evidentiary issues?
Or is it for all of the more than 100 casinos to move forward as a class in a single arbitration before one arbitrator who will decide the fate of their theory that Light & Wonder engaged in sham patent litigation to monopolize the market for its machines?
