Like I said previously; if it turns out that he is credibly charging other officials with doing things similar to what he has done, I agree the casinos are likely to give over the tapes.

However, initial reports were that he was accusing them of, gasp, gambling in casinos. That gambling reportedly does not include betting on basketball; nor do his charges include any sort of game fixing. It seems he's only accusing them of breaking the NBAs conduct code for officials. That's something the casinos couldn't care less about (Yes, Dan, I'm guessing here.)

If the casinos were to develop a reputation for allowing anyone with a contractual grudge (yes, including divorce lawyers) to effectively mine thousands of hours of tape, they'll lose business just as quickly. (Yes, Dan, I'm guessing.)
