Jordan Kerr, who has filed lawsuits against other casinos in the past, has now filed a lawsuit against the Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore.
Jordan Kerr, a self-proclaimed “advantage player” with a history of card counting in casinos, has filed a lawsuit against Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, alleging wrongful detention and personal injury. This marks the latest legal action taken by Kerr against a casino following his removal from their premises.
The incident, which occurred in October 2024, involved a dispute with casino management. According to Kerr, when asked to present his identification, he refused and attempted to leave the casino. However, he alleges that he was subsequently detained by casino security.
Kerr claims to have sustained personal injuries during this alleged detention, forming the basis of his lawsuit against Caesars Entertainment, the operator of Horseshoe Casino Baltimore.
This is not the first time Kerr has taken legal action against a casino. A few years ago, he filed a similar lawsuit against Harrah’s New Orleans Casino, alleging assault, false imprisonment, battery, negligence, and other violations of his civil rights.
Legal Considerations:
It’s important to note that while card counting itself is not illegal, casinos reserve the right to refuse service to any patron, including those suspected of engaging in card counting. This right is typically enshrined in casino policies.
Strategic Implications:
This lawsuit highlights the ongoing legal battles between casinos and advantage players. For casinos, it emphasizes the importance of clear and consistent policies regarding player behavior and the handling of suspected advantage players. For players, it underscores the need for a thorough understanding of their rights and the legal framework surrounding casino operations.
