And yes he had allegedly some drugs on him. But what gave them the right to search him.

The decision whether a bodily search was okay, it was an assault, is based upon many more factsbthn you were able to provider here. Since you describe them as a casino employee, and not a police officer, it would more likely be an assault. But, if he consented, it probably wouldn't be unlawful fr either to search him.

Good luck
