An interesting outcome, especially for any readers involved in the gaming industry. A Canberra gambler has won a case where another gambler wiped out his credits (probably by using the gamble feature.)Full article here

The outcome, which was the awarding of $2040 plus interest and costs, found that the venue had a duty of care to protect its patrons winnings.

The outcome was upheld by the ACT Supreme Court which refused the venue leave to appeal.

Venues do have a duty of care for patrons. This is one example but there are many others.
