IANAL, but after a 10-second internet search I suspect they'll be referencing the [URL="http://www.state.nj.us/casinos/actreg/act/docs_article09/cca-article09.pdf"]New Jersey Casino Control Act, which in its Cheating at Casino Games section states[/URL]:

[INDENT][I]a. A person is guilty of swindling and cheating if the person purposely or knowingly by any trick or sleight of hand performance or by a fraud or fraudulent scheme, cards, dice or device, for himself or herself or for another, wins or attempts to win money or property or a representative of either or reduces a losing wager or attempts to reduce a losing wager in connection to casino gaming. [/I][/INDENT]

Long story short, where there are legal casinos it [b]is[/b] typically against the law for player to try to cheat them.

I expect the casino will be trying to characterise Ivey's behaviour as fitting the above definition of "swindling and cheating".  Whether they'll be successful in that is another question, but it's a very broad definition they've got to work with there...
