I don't
blame you for your feelings. Many players feel the same way.
However,
casinos can and do restrict players, in Nevada anyway, for almost anything
other than race, ethnicity, sex, religion, or something like that.
Players are
not required to like this. Obviously you don't and you're not alone. But if
players are going to survive in the gambling business they should be aware of
the "rules of the game." And one of those rules is that casinos can restrict
you if you don't "behave" according to their preferences.
Players who
conform to what the casinos prefer find they are welcome more than if they do
not conform. Back in the 60s I had a beard and would call this "selling out." Selling
out was a bad thing. Now I call it an intelligent business decision.
Intelligent business decisions are good things. Same event. Different perceptions as I matured/sold out.
If you are
a recreational player, largely this doesn't matter much. Most recreational
players lose enough that casinos don't restrict them --- although sometimes players
are punished for big jackpots whether they know what they are doing or not.
Mostly it is the serious player who needs to be concerned with being restricted
and the steps to take to avoid it or to get reinstated.
