The Casinos countered with basically,"We are not his parents and he is not our child nor is he a child. We shouldn't have to tell a grown adult to stop drinking and gambling." IIRC, the Casino staff did mention they knew he would go after them so bad for his lost money when he sobered up and he did. He lost his lawsuit, making him a loser twice .

Should he have won his lawsuit? I mean in my job that sells alcoholic drinks, we are told not to sell someone who is already really drunk any liquor. Bars are supposed to cut off people who are really drunk too. I saw an article saying that the guy was stumbling, slurring his words and they were still serving him alcohol. On the other hand he is an adult and didn't have to get that drunk, so I don't know.
Yes, the casinos claim it is not their responsibility when someone gets to drunk and gambles off all their money. But watch what happens when someone is both drunk and broke. They get shuffled right out the door. Traditionally, the Nevada courts have always protected the casino industry.
