Addict ruthlessly exploited sues casino for £2M

You need a heart of stone not to laugh at this High Court claim

Quote:

An Omani politician's wife and gambling addict is suing The Ritz casino after losing a staggering £2million at its card table. Nora Al-Daher, 50, who lives in Muscat, blew her millions at the exclusive London club's punto banco table in just a few hours in April 2012. But she claims she would not have lost the money if staff had not 'taken advantage' of her gambling addiction. She told London's High Court that employees had stood behind her at the table, encouraging her to keep playing the card game, despite having been made aware of her addiction. As her incredible losses mounted, they had even extended her cheque-cashing facility, she said. 'I needed someone that night to tell me to stop playing and bring me to my senses,' the multi-millionaire told the court. 'If I had been told to stop, of course I would stop immediately. No one ever told me to stop or think about my gambling.'

What is punto banco?
