Man Sues Casino, Alleging He Was Allowed to Bet While Drunk
A Kentucky man is suing Caesars Indiana, alleging that he was drunk when casino employees offered him $75,000 in credit that he quickly gambled away in a drunken blur of blackjack and craps. Caesars officials sued Jimmy L. Vance, 64, in October for failing to repay the $75,000.
Vance's countersuit, filed last month, claims he was drunk the night he accepted the credit and then lost it gambling at the casino about 15 miles southwest of Louisville, Ky. "They kept serving me till I was totally intoxicated. In fact, I don't remember losing all the money," said Vance, a developer from Corbin, Ky.
He maintains he was visibly drunk the night of Sept. 22, 2004, and was "induced" by Caesars employees to take several credit advances while gambling that night. His suit claims the casino is responsible for his losses and violated state law by serving him alcohol while he was drunk, impairing his ability to enter into a contractual agreement.
