In October 2010, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled against a woman who said an area casino preyed on her gambling addiction. Jenny Kephart filed a lawsuit against Caesars Indiana in 2007 after the casino sued her to recover $125,000 that she lost in a single night of gambling in the year before. The casino is now Horseshoe Southern Indiana.
Kephart said the casino enticed her to gamble with free meals and rooms as well as money on credit. The casino even sent a car to drive her from her home in Tennessee to the Indiana casino. Below are the legal briefs from Caesars Riverboat Casino v. Kephart.
