Asian man was not barred from Dublin casino on racial grounds

An Asian man, who was barred from a Dublin amusement arcade and casino, after winning €6,000 on roulette, has failed in his claim that he was racially discriminated against by its staff.

The Workplace Relations Commission has ruled that there is no substance to the complaint and concluded the claimant had been banned because he “no longer relied on chance to win bets”. The claimant, from Bangladesh, said he suffered racial discrimination when refused entry to the casino in December 2016. He had frequented it for 12 years.
