I have dealt with indian casino cases, and I'm not surprised you're looking for an attorney, because these casinos can be a real pain to deal with. For a free consultation, call me toll-free at 877-LION-FOR-LAW (546-6367)
I am not related to Mr. Stone-Molloy, and I will answer your question. The indian casinos take the position that they are Sovereign Nations and can't be sued. So far, as far as I know, they have been 100% successful in having lawsuits dismissed. That means that if you slip and fall, the slot machine electrocutes you, or their security guard shoots you dead, you can't sue. That also means they can cheat at gambling if they want to. They are accountable to no one. Makes you want to go play there again, doesn't it?
