Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2324362, member: 23910"] My personal opinion is that sometimes laws can go to far, but many of them are in place for a good reason. This would seem to be one of them. Consider the alternative: without such a law, casinos could ply people with free drinks, get them good and drunk, then direct them to the high stakes tables. When those people woke up stone broke in the morning they'd have no recourse whatsoever. You can argue that it was partly their fault, and they could've said no to all those free drinks, but it's hard to argue that the casino wasn't preying on them. That's all irrelevant to this case though: as mentioned above, if the law cited about not allowing drunk patrons to gamble (let alone drink even more) is indeed the law in Nevada, then as long as the guy can prove a reasonable person would have thought he was drunk, then he's got a case in this instance.
