Just to make sure I understand this, the casino kicked you out and told you not to come back? And you laid low for a couple of years, but now you’re coming back, except that you play low stakes so they probably won’t pay attention to you. And all this is okay because they didn’t make you sign a paper acknowledging that they told you to get out and not come back?

As they say, “What part of NO don’t you understand?”
