Gambling addict sues Ritz Casino after losing two million
July 18, 2014
If players don't have to honour their debts to casinos, why should casinos have to honour players' winnings? It works both ways.
In April 2012, the wife of an Arabic politician went into the Ritz Casino - which is a casino, by the way - and gambled - which is moreorless the sole purpose for going into a casino; afterwards, she claimed she hadn't wanted to gamble, and as such does not owe the casino any money.
A gambling addict is suing the Ritz casino after betting and losing £2m in one evening
Nora Al-Daher, whose husband is the foreign minister of Oman, told the High Court someone should have stopped her.
Ms Al-Daher had already suffered substantial losses at other casinos earlier the same day, in April 2012.
Her court action comes after the Ritz sued her for a debt of £1m, alleging that some of the cheques she handed over that night had not been honoured.
The court was told that Mrs Al-Daher had made it clear when she arrived at the Ritz that she was a gambling addict, had lost money and did not want to play.

My guess is that if she'd won she wouldn't have claimed she hadn't wanted to gamble and therefore had no desire to collect her winnings.
Some players give players a bad name.
