The Indiana Court of Appeals held a special hearing Thursday at Anderson University on a case involving an Ohio River casino accused of allowing a compulsive gambler to play.

The case involved Caesar's Riverboat Casino LLC, which sued Genevieve M. Kephart of Nashville, Tennessee, after she allegedly wrote six counter checks that were returned for insufficient funds after losing $125,000 during a trip to the casino in March 2006.

Kephart later filed a counterclaim alleging that Caesar's knew she was a compulsive gambler and that by inviting her to the riverboat and paying for her hotel, the casino unfairly enticed her to gamble.

The Court of Appeals' decision in the case could take several weeks or months.

Just another example of an "adult" not wanting to take resposibility for their actions..I didn't kill that person,the gun did..honest! Caesar's had no way of knowing the checks wouldn't clear,some people do have that kind of money at their disposal

ok first of all she most likley knew the checks would not pass when she wrote them.and how did Caesar's know she was a compulsive gambler.maybe they invited her but they didnt force her to go.if she wins her case she will most likley just blow the money at another casino or just go to Vegas.i dont know this person or go to casinos.so just write off the money she owes and ban her from Ceasar's for good.y'all know it's all about the money.
