You-let-me-gamble suits

Now they’ve reached France:

A ruined French gambler yesterday sued a casino for failing to prevent him losing his money. Jean-Philippe Bryk, 44, claimed the Grand Cafe casino in the spa town of Vichy owed him a duty of “information, advice and loyalty”….

A spokesman for the casino said the “idea of gambling is that one runs the risk of losing”.

(Jon Henley, “Gambler sues casino that let him lose £500,000”, The Guardian (U.K.), Nov. 15; Lucy Mangan, “Bad gamblers rejoice – the casino’s to blame”, The Guardian, Nov. 16). See Apr. 19, etc.
