It means that Parx started by not allowing playing behind. The 10/10 players wanted to be allowed to play behind, because they felt like it made their lives easier, better, or whatever, so they have wiggled and agitated and done whatever they have done to be in the situation they are now in.
I imagine it was originally intended to be used only between people who mutually trusted each other, but over time it became accepted at the table for all participants.
These folks might disagree with you about EVERYONE wanting not to allow it. They might prefer to allow it still, especially between players that they mutually trust. This might no longer be allowed if Parx is forced to forcefully insist on the table playing by the rules that are established for the room.
IMO, the odds are easily 10:1 that they go this route, and not the route of allowing and enforcing playing behind. Particularly because the statute seems to require the dealer to convert cash to chips, and the Parx dealer wells are not set up for this. In fact, I seem to recall Parx making a filing to allow the cash to be converted by the carts and/or floor instead of the dealers, but the appeal seems not to have been accepted by the PGCB (yet).
