> Casinos are private properties, they can kick you out for any reason without having to justify themselves.

I find this surprising. Aren't there any rules about having to serve everyone equally? Like non-discriminatory rules? A Casino could unilaterally bar entry to all people from a certain ethnicity and they wouldn't have to justify themselves? Is this true for all businesses?

It's really fishy that Casinos can say you can come play here unless you win.

Ethnicity is a protected class, so no, you can't just ban people based on that. "Being really good at gambling" is not a protected class.
