I recently visited a land-based casino after a long time to gamble, have some drinks and enjoy live music with a couple of my good buddies. Not long after we settled in, we heard one of the casino workers yelling at one of the gamblers. He said, "Sir please you have to leave now. You come here every day and you keep losing. Please be considerate of your wife and your newborn babies." The backstory is that this particular man is a very popular gambler at the casino not because of his winnings but because he keeps losing. Despite his losses, he would return to the casino the next day to gamble. From the story, his wife had just been delivered with twins. I would later find out that the casino worker is his nephew.

If you were the casino manager would you fire the casino worker for interfering with your business or would you ban the gambler from visiting the casino?

If I were the casino manager I would want to fire the casino worker for interfering with my business but I am afraid there would probably be laws which prevent me from doing exactly that because I am not sure if it would be considered as wrongdoing by the court. In fact the court may see it in a positive light, like he was trying to prevent a gambling addict and a new father from a gambling addiction or something.

From a humane perspective the worker is probably right to tell him off. From a business perspective... Not so good.

I think there is no need for this thing to get as far into court hearings, the management and the employee can settle what happened in the same day maybe after his shift and if the managements decides to fire the employee for misconduct then I think a court won't be needed as the management as all the power to fire an employee as long as it is a reasonable reason.

But if I were a manager, the employee deserves a 2nd chance because his actions is reasonable as well because he's just preventing his uncle to engage in the activities because he is needed by his wife.
