It’s the casino’s fault I gambled all my money away!
After Caesars Indiana sued Jenny Kephart for not repaying $125,000 she borrowed during a March 2006 visit to a riverboat, she has countersued. She says that the casino should have realized she was addicted to gambling and should have stopped her. Kephart says she has lost over $900,000 gambling around the United States.
Kephart says the casino enticed her to gamble with giveaways and loans. Her lawyer says that Caesars even took “affirmative steps to persuade her to gamble.” She had $1 million from a family inheritance, and her lawyer says the casino knew about it.
Caesars says that Kephart didn’t tell them she needed to be banned from Harrah’s properties and the casino personnel had no way of knowing she was a problem gambler.
Indiana courts have previously ruled that casinos don’t have a responsibility to prevent customers from gambling.
