I can't see how it's the casino's responsibility to keep addicts out of their establishment.

I agree, Adam. That would set a precedent for bars keeping out alcoholics.

He has an addiction, which needs treatment, not banishment.

The worst part is the court ordered him to pay the casino's legal fees!

I don't agree with you, Adam... an "exclusion list" means a protection for addict gambler and the casino should have to ask identity card to everybody before gaming.
I think it's their responsability, the most important one.
