Scott Robbins Sues Borgata for $1.25M over Lifetime Ban after Suicide Joke

American poker player Scott Robbins learned the hard way that there is a time to joke and time to leave your sense of humor to yourself.

The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa banned Robbins for life in September 2020 due to his comments about suicide which Robbins claims was a joke. Robbins has not only challenged his ban with allegations that the check-in desk overreacted to his comment, but he is suing the Borgata for $1.25 million in a New Jersey Superior Court.

According to Haley Hintze at CardsChat, the lawsuit only surfaced earlier this week after the Borgata won a challenge to have the case heard in a Federal Court on Monday.
