I Was Banned from a Casino, Not Given Any Valid Reason Why

Okey dokey.

I will sue this casino, mark my words.

And you will lose. Unless they give you a pittance to go away but I wouldn't count on that. You have not described anything in your posts that is legally actionable, much less winnable.

Since you have "industry experience," you are also aware that this kind of rabble rousing could get you blacklisted from more casinos right? If you had any kind of industry experience, you would be well aware that the casino has done nothing illegal.

Casinos here seem to think they have a blank check, and can set their own rules. Sorry, it doesn't work that way - in any business.

That's exactly how it works as long as they are not violating the law, which you have given no evidence of. They may make any rules they wish so long as they obey applicable laws.

If you had been an employee, one might be able to make an argument that your banning was in retaliation for your complaint to the gaming commission. However, as a patron, you have no such special protection that I can find. They can ban you for any reason not prohibited by law.

Out of interest, ARE we talking about Tribal Law here?

@Free, I disagree with you, 100%. My industry experience is from California. The Native casinos rarely have any issues like this, as they know that the clientele is number one - period. As I've said, Pennsylvania is different - MUCH different than any other state in terms of practices. If I went on the 6 o'clock news with this story, can you imagine how other patrons would view this? Again, I've spent thousands, was a VIP player, and I was dumped for asking for some comps!? Do a random sample of 100 people and see what you come up with, and I'd be willing to bet (no pun intended) that 90 people would view the casino in a very negative way. You don't ban a person for asking for a couple of comps. You also don't ban a person for filing a complaint with the PGCB. You certainly don't ban a patron for raising concerns and complaints to management about poor gaming experiences. That would be sending other players a very negative message. Banning a patron for life??? They're acting like I committed some heinous crime, which is certainly not the case. Again, media coverage on this would certainly be a good place to start, and share my experience with others. It's not a free-for-all as you suggest. There are rules that ALL businesses must follow, that is, if they wish to stay in business. I did nothing wrong to warrant their treatment! I will absolutely sue this casino, and I will win.

You will lose.

And end up paying their legal fees.

Be. Prepared.

My FAMILY live in the Pittsburgh 'burbs. And trust me, local media won't give a flying ferret fart. They just won't.

@Dogmatique, No this is a casino in Pennsylvania, non-tribal. I used to work for a Native casino in San Diego... I know the rules & regs with the tribal casinos are very different than here in PA.

Uhhhh Yeahhh OK.

So, why don't you start by posting a link to the law that they violated?
