The lawsuit against SugarHouse was filed in Philadelphia on Wednesday and accuses the casino of failing to "provide an honest wagering environment."
The Pennsylvania Gaming Board last year fined SugarHouse a total of $100,000 for using decks with the wrong number of cards. The casino also admitted employees did not properly address warning lights on automated shufflers over an eight-month period.
It was during that period that William Vespe, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, says he lost $104,000, and Anthony Mattia, of Philadelphia, says he lost $147,000.
Both men seek unspecified damages from SugarHouse and parent company Rush Street Gambling.
SugarHouse denies the claims.
