And the proprietor can have their friends in law enforcement, whom they work with on a daily basis, bring a whole lot of hassle down on you.Ĭliff Note: Show your ID with a smile, then ask why. But, if they get a bug up their butt, they don't have to do it right now, or even today. They probably can't stop you from eventually cashing your chips.
Just like a bar, you can be carded in a casino at any time, for any reason, or no reason at all, by the proprietor or law enforcement. If the casino allows smoking or holds a liquor license, the proprietor has an additional legal responsibility to prevent underage imbibing. As a gaming license holder, the proprietor has a legal responsibility to prevent underage gambling, problem gambling, money laundering, and ban certain people from the property. It is perfectly reasonable for the proprietor to have a positive ID policy, for example to rate players or maintain an '86' list. Casino's are not public spaces, they are places of business. In a casino you should first politely show them your ID, and then politely ask why. Something you should always do when someone asks for your personal information, ask them politely WHY they need it? they are just following the law.
