Comments by "SmallSpoonBrigade" (@SmallSpoonBrigade) on "Casino Says She Was Trespassing: Won’t Pay $127K" video.
That sounds about right, plus I don't know how they explain somebody being allegedly permanently trespassed being allowed to gamble openly for years when they magically discover the ban right after winning a 6 figure jackpot. Just the failure of the casino to enforce their rights for so many years over a single incident where there isn't even anybody complaining right after she wins that kind of money is probably not something that jurors are going to be OK with.

8 years of letting her gamble probably represent some sort of forfeiture of their right to claim she's there without their permission. They seemed to figure it out pretty quickly when she won, they didn't ever run her license or check up on who she was for that many years? A good chunk of the population would have forgotten about that incident entirely over that many years.

Even without that, the fact that they hadn't taken any steps to enforce a ban in all those years is something. Most businesses won't enforce a permanent ban just because of how much of a hassle that can be, especially given that if they haven't seen the person in a year or two, they may not be recognizable and there may not be any witnesses available if they need a witness to testify to the records in case of further issues.

@TheresaHall-vl1bm Most businesses can, as long as the reason for denying entry isn't on the list of specific reasons not to allow people in. It's completely fair game to deny anybody entry that's wearing a blue shirt so long as the people wearing blue shirts are all banned and there isn't such a significantly disproportionate number of people wearing that article of clothing of a protected class.

@CubeInspector I'm wondering how many other casinos are in the area. There are a few small casinos around here that are more or less just card rooms, there's only a couple tribal casinos within any sort of reasonable distance of me. It could potentially lead to people switching casinos, but gamblers can be very, very picky about which casinos are lucky and which ones aren't.
