My question now is are there any moral, ethical or legal obligation to bar a person from gambling after physically observing that he is mentally unstable?

Some attendant might get scared or something and create a scene of that such.. and even from your explanation the man might not even be mentally unstable but probably broke and ratcheted. Not everyone who looks dirty and unkept are mental. Some are just fine but suffering from depression. Literally I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be allowed to gamble. If they have money and can place the bet then why not. Being mental doesn't actually remove ones right from reality, it one removes you from the public as every one sees you not fit to live with. So if he can still gamble then he shouldn't be deprived of a chance to.

Everyone will experience the same thing as the person OP explained, when there is no control, even if the person makes an appointment in shabby clothes, it doesn't necessarily mean they are mentally disturbed. Maybe that person has had some unexplained factors happen that make him pretend like that. I also haven't found out the rules for gambling. Whoever has to look good, but those who have money can gamble wherever they want.
Appearance is not an obstacle to joining a game in a casino when there is an opportunity, it must be realized until it becomes a reality, the most important thing is that mental disorders must be protected as much as possible.
