Gambler sues six Atlantic City casinos for $20 million
Arelia Margarita Taveras, a former lawyer and TV commentator, filed a federal racketeering suit seeking $20 million against Resorts Atlantic City, Trump Plaza, Trump Taj Mahal, Tropicana, Showboat, Bally's, and MGM Grand Las Vegas. She claims casinos ignored her compulsive gambling, enabling days at the tables with high‑roller perks and even bringing her dog to the tables. She says losses approach $1 million, and she has faced disbarment, criminal charges for misused escrow funds, and personal ruin, while experts question the case’s proof of duty to cut her off.
