grounds for a lawsuit?

in General Poker Chat
a little over a year ago I won a single table satelleite at Fallsview Casino, and despite multiple attempts to claim my ticket it was never awarded to me. I made at least 5+ attempts and received various assurances from casino employees that if X condition were met I would be given my ticket. Basically I am out $1000, or a little more. Should I sue the casino, and if so, how much should I sue for?

    the first time i went to the cage they said bring a floor man who could vouch for my identity and then when i did that it was a different cashier who wouldn't do it. it was partly my fault in that I didn't have identification, but I informed the floorman of this fact before entering the tournament and he assured me it was okay. my plan was just to sell the (transferrable) ticket, if I won.

    Small claims court=waste of time and money.

    In order to claim any prizes money or anything else you need valid ID which means not expired.
    My drivers licence was expired and they wouldnt except that so I was going to use my passport instead. Same thing for lotterie winnings!! You may have a case because they let you play a tourny without valid ID.

    We've been through this before a few months ago. Take them to court. Remember, This is the Government we are talking about. Yer basically fubarred buddy. So if you want to pay a couple of grand over a 1K ticket. You would need a lawyer ........ By all means go for it.

    It would be small claims. No lawyer is needed anyways.

    Dalton and his gang would have a gaggle of mouthpieces there at 500/hr a pop. So he would in this case.
    And we the taxpayers would end up footing the bill.

    Would probably take up more time than it is worth...are you sure you have exhausted all avenues in dealing directly with the casino?

    And why did you wait a year to consider your options?

    Did you speak to management at any time?

    +1.

    Also it will cost you more then the 1k once the casino lawyers get done with you.

    Just for the record I know I sound harsh, but I am concerned for you Meistro and I really don't want to see you waste your time or have you go through shit that I have been through.

    I don't know what the whole story is or how much evidence you have either.:)
