    You are so right. Casinos are the most predatory legal business in existence. They WANT their customers to lose track of time, to gamble to "extinction," meaning, until their funds run out. Yet casinos will treat advantage players like criminals. By advantage players, I mean card counters. Blackjack is the only beatable game in a casino.

    But if she was a winner and not a loser she would have no problem with her gambling addiction.She obviously has no clue what bankroll management is about and she is obviously compulsive.

    When I was a kid I was addicted to the idea of gambling. Fortunately I lost interest when comparing the actions of losing players to pro gamblers. I took a closer look at the numbers and mathematical variance and realized that no one in their right mind would risk money in a mathematically foolish game.

    Good for her. There are a million stories just like hers, people who couldn't stop despite their life's work vanishing in front of them, and the casinos are all too happy to bleed these people until there's nothing left...but walk in with any kind of edge and they turn their enormous security apparatus on you and start talking about how unfair it is for the player to have the advantage. Shame on them; I can't imagine Taveras' lawsuit worked out, but it would have if there were any justice.

    Arelia Taveras was sentenced last week after admitting she stole $130,000 to support her gambling, the New York Law Journal reports. She had pleaded guilty to five counts of grand larceny and one count of offering a false instrument for filing, according to the story.Taveras had claimed in her lawsuit that seven casinos failed to stop her compulsive gambling that led to $1 million in losses. A federal judge dismissed the suit last year.

    Sorry, Ms. Lawyer, but it's your responsibility to get help for your gambling addiction. I love to buy make-up, and I do consider myself to be a cosmetics addict. So, by your reasoning, I should be able to sue the cosmetic companies, or department stores, for being very accessible, and for providing all of the beautiful lipsticks and lip glosses, right? No, it's up to me to get help if I know that I need it.

    Suing a casino is so ridiculous people gotta take responsibility for their own actions. I’m so sick of seeing people suing for stuff like this that’s their own fault. Millions of people go to casinos and don’t spend their life’s savings. My grandmother absolutely loved the slot machines when she was alive it’s one of the things that brought her so much joy for many many years but she didn’t spend her life’s savings on it she would go to the casino with 50 bucks or 100 bucks and when that money was gone she was done gambling. My one uncle has a gambling problem and after he lost a bunch of money he told the casino he has a problem so he wants to check himself out so he will be kicked out if he comes back and they told him they won’t necessarily kick him out of the casino because so many people do this it’s hard to keep Track so what will happen is if he comes back and wins they won’t give him the money he did this at every casino locally. He actually went back to one of the casinos and he won a few grand but they wouldn’t give him the money because he checked himself out. This lady could have easily check herself out but she didn’t. I feel bad that she has an addiction and she needs to get help but she shouldn’t get money from them not just because it’s not the casinos fault but if she wins a bunch of money then she’s not gonna learn a lesson giving her a bunch of money so she can bounce her life right back won’t help her with her addiction at all if she struggles for a few years to get her life back on track by hard work she will have a much better chance of not going back to gambling she will think man it was so hard to get my life back I’m not gonna do that again.
    This is just as stupid as a person suing a gun company because someone was murdered. The gun company didn’t make guns for people to murder. It’s not a gun company’s fault there are evil people in this world just like it’s not the casinos fault this lady can’t control herself! Just because she can’t control herself does mean the rest of the world can’t. You would think after she gambled 50,000 bucks she would really look at herself and say I’m obviously not good at this so I can’t keep going to the casino or tell herself I need to get help but rather then getting help she lost 1 million bucks. I have had addiction problems not with gambling but something else so I understand addiction and I would never sue a company that made the product that I was addicted to they didn’t force me to do anything it make no sense to me. This lady is just looking for the easy way out and it’s really childish in my opinion! Just man up, you screwed up now you need to fix it. Now ur not gonna retire at 60 anymore ur gonna have to live like a broke college student for many years and dig urself out of the hole ur in.

    Very interesting. Good thing this woman is a lawyer. Perhaps she will be the one to figure out how to turn the tables on these unaccountable casinos.
    Now if this was a drinking problem; the bartender/establishment would take responsibility and stop serving someone who'd had enough.
    Surely casinos take note of people who spend days at a time in their establishments. Same principle should apply to casinos for people who are not exhibiting sound behavior.
    Obviously living only on orange juice and candy bars and cleaning her teeth with wet wipes is not sound behavior. Just being there in the same clothes for several days at a time is evidence too. But this just shows that they have no concern and refuse to even share responsibility. Go get em honey!

    Thing is gambling should be fairer not BANNED! Authority should just make the house edge 50% less so the house of course house wins their share but so gamblers can not lose that much. The way casinos work is that not only do they turn out massive profit in the long term from every single player in the casino but they are greedy cunts who want to make profit from every single hand of Black Jack or every single roulette spin....
