Gambler who was kicked out of casino must be paid, regulators say

[Darkoz]

Interesting,

I’ve heard of some indian casinos refusing to pay & getting away with it, when the jackpot is on someone else's card.

I also recall a couple of stories about regulated casinos, outside of NV but I don’t recall where, maybe Maryland or Colorado refusing to pay jackpots when someone self excluded then came back in anyway & won, and If I recall I think they got away with it too.

Self excluded is different.

It's usually codified in gambling statutes and regulations that jackpots won by a self-excluded person is forfeit.

This is because the payment itself would feed into the addiction. At any rate, the casino is within the law in those circumstances, in fact would generally violate the law by performing payout

It would interesting to know what happens to the forfeit jackpot. Does the casino just keep it? Is it turned over to the state? Is the casino required to return to players by adding the money back to a progressive? I would think this is most likely.

I can't speak for every state but the few I have seen that's also codified in law. Forfeit money from self excluded winnings become donations to AA or gamblers anonymous and other designated type organizations.

Probably varies state to state but there is some measure of sanity in the decision
