A man from Connecticut, Jordan Kerr, has sued Horseshoe Baltimore Casino and Caesars Entertainment, its parent company, for $3 million.
Advantage Player Seeks $3M in Damages from Horseshoe Casino
Kerr claims casino security held him against his will during an October incident. The lawsuit first filed in Baltimore City Circuit Court now sits in Maryland’s federal District Court.
Kerr, a skilled blackjack player who calls himself an “advantage player,” says casino staff kept him in a back room when he did not show his ID, reported The Baltimore Banner. This happened just after midnight on October 18, 2024. Kerr had decided to leave the casino after losing several hands of blackjack.
Based on Kerr’s complaint, a casino supervisor came up to him at the table and asked to see his driver’s license. When he chose not to show it and started to leave, he says security staff surrounded him and told him they were holding him. Security workers threatened to arrest him and use force unless he went with them to a back room.
