Do you think that these charges can stand in court? Did Phillip Dong Fang Lee want to recover his losses through legal remedy?
Do you think this is going to be a bad precedent if Phillip Dong Fang Lee wins the case, and casinos should check the behavior of their players if they are exploiting their addiction?
In my opinion, the case might stand if Lee proves exploitation, but gambling losses are usually seen as personal responsibility. If he wins, it could set a precedent pushing casinos to monitor addiction more closely, raising questions about accountability.
However, courts usually view gambling losses as personal responsibility, so it will be difficult unless there’s clear evidence of predatory conduct by the casino.
