Your thoughts?

I think it raises some interesting issues about personal and corporate responsibility.

There are some parallels with smokers, and suing big tobacco companies and such.

Is the casino responsible?

Also interesting, really, if he does win $50 million dollars isnt much, hell it's <5% of what he gambled there....AND wouldnt he just re-gamble the money?

If he'd won out on that $1.4b I doubt the Casino could sue him for that money back because he was gambling while banned.
