How do I file a lawsuit against a Casino?

For a civil lawsuit, you'd show that you personally lost money.

For a criminal lawsuit, you'd show that they are cheating.

And you can file both lawsuits in this matter; you do not have to just file one.

Is the casino on tribal Indian land? If so, then they are a sovereign nation and it gets tricky.

You would need to talk to a lawyer, and yes, you will need to prove they are cheating. You have to prove impropriety, you can't sue a casino because you lost money..... You would have to show that the games are fixed.

You will need proof of them cheating. If you try to do the lawsuit and have no proof, they can countersue you for spreading lies about them.

You and your low-paid lawyer (after all you didn't win did you), will be invited to an executives office at the casino, where both of you will be introduced to 14 high paid lawyers. At this point your lawyer will run off screaming, and you will be forced to give up.

Find a lawyer that deals with gaming, or just ask any lawyer to refer you to someone. The lawyer is the one who will tell you what you need and help you with it.

Most casinos are owned by a certain "tribe" of indians. If you DO file a lawsuit, you would go before their "chief" and not a court in a courtroom. ORRRRRRRRRR, the MAFIA! Good luck with that dude!

The same why any other lawsuit is filed----get an attorney. And yes, you would have to show that you were damaged by their action.

You are barking up the wrong tree, people that try to sue casinos usually die young.

if you are 100 per cent sure get a picture phone and take those pictures right away because like they say pictures do not lie.

First, you need to take the LSATs and get an undergraduate degree of some kind, then apply to law school. Most programs are about three years long, if you get in. Then you have to pass the Bar exams. It's a long arduous process.

Obviously you'd need evidence against them to prove your case. If you can't prove that they're cheating then it will never make it to court.

What is your legal theory as to the manner in which a casino is cheating?
What documentary evidence do you have?
How does your theory and your evidence amount to a violation of statutory or common law?
Have definitive answers to the above 3 questions before you waste any time and money on a wild-goose chase.
