A Professional Poker Player Drops His Lawsuit Against the Borgata Hotel and Casino
There are certain things that are generally not funny. A person walking through an airport should not joke about carrying a bomb. A visitor to a hospital should not joke about death. A person staying in a high-rise hotel should not joke about committing suicide.
Poker player Scott Robbins learned this lesson the hard way. When he did make the comment about suicide at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, the property took him seriously. And when they took steps to address the potential problem, Robbins insisted he was joking. The Borgata didn’t think it was funny and issued a lifetime ban.
Things got complicated from there.
But now, Robbins is voluntarily dropping a lawsuit against the Borgata noting an amicable adjustment to the situation.
