Jordan Kerr, who has filed lawsuits against other casinos in the past, has now filed one against the Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore.
Key points:
- Jordan Kerr claims he was injured while casino security detained him
- Kerr admits to card counting in casinos for over a decade
- He has filed similar lawsuits against other casinos after they removed him from properties
Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, operated by Caesars, is the latest casino to be struck by a lawsuit filed by Jordan Kerr.
Kerr, a self-admitted card counter who prefers the term ‘advantage player’, has been frequenting land-based casinos for over a decade.
The incident with Horseshoe Casino Baltimore occurred back in October, but Kerr has only recently filed a lawsuit against the company.
According to Kerr, when management asked to see his ID, he refused and instead left the tables to leave the casinos. It was at this point that he was detained.
Kerr is claiming that he received a personal injury while being ‘illegally detained’ on the property.
A few years ago, Kerr filed a similar case against Harrah’s New Orleans Casino, claiming he was the victim of assault, false imprisonment, battery, negligence, trespass against chattels, defamation and violation of search and seizure and due process.
Good to know: Card counting is not illegal and charges cannot be held against someone for engaging in it. However, casinos can eject players from the property if they suspect it.
In the court documents, Kerr alleged that the local Sheriff’s Office “hatched a plan” to “invade the anonymity of and detain” him.
As for the current case, Caesars Entertainment is being represented by Robert Leigh Hebb, the Principal of the Litigation Department at Semmes, Bowen & Semmes. Kerr is represented by Harris S Ammerman.
