I found it interesting that the wynn decided that he was on a self destructive path and decided to ban him from their casino:
> In 2006, Mr. Watanabe resided primarily at Wynn Resorts' Wynn Las Vegas casino. But, he says, his heavy betting drew the attention of Chief Executive Steve Wynn. After meeting with him in June 2007, Mr. Wynn concluded that he was a compulsive gambler and alcoholic, and barred him from the casino, according to a letter to the Nevada Gaming Control Board drafted by Mr. Watanabe's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell.
> Ms. Jones, the Harrah's vice president, says, "It was not our understanding that he was kicked out of Wynn because of problem gambling."
Whereas at Caesars:
>Mr. Kunder and Mr. Deleon say they both voiced concerns to managers that Mr. Watanabe was too intoxicated, and were told not to get involved. "Nobody wanted to be the one to cut him off," Mr. Kunder says. "We were afraid of what upper management would do if he left because of our actions."
I think that its the moral responsibility for any company to not sell products that harm their customers; they should refuse to do business with those who are throwing their life away. Now this is not a legal responsibility, but merely doing what is ethical.
For instance:
1. Bar or Package Store that refuses to sell alcohol to alcoholics
2. McDonalds refuses to sell unhealthy foods to the morbidly obese
3. Firearm dealer refuses to sell weapons to the suicidal.
Also, can credit be extended to an intoxicated person? Do they have footage of when the credit was extended?
