Unless he can show that the casino spiked the drink, I don’t see how this situation would be all that different from someone who was impaired through alcohol. His behavior doesn’t seem all that different from someone who has been drinking. Since players get free drinks, it has to be a common situation that an inebriated player has had these kinds of credit increases and big losses. Do players who drink too much successfully sue the casino to recoup their losses?
