In response to a request for a statement from The Post, a representative for the hotel said: “As you may be aware, Borgata does not comment on matters in litigation.” Poker pro Scott Robbins seeks a $1.25 million settlement from the Borgata. The first tournament card had yet to be dealt and, upon returning to the Borgata, Robbins was already in the hole for nearly $2,000 in transport and medical costs.īut the real bad beat was yet to come: Robbins’ belongings were reportedly removed from the room, the Borgata slapped him with a ban for life and security escorted him from the property.
An ambulance allegedly whisked him to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, where a shrink is said to have confirmed in writing that Robbins is “not a danger to himself or anyone else at this time.” APĪs stated in the suit, it was “an armed security force” telling him that he would need a psychological evaluation if he wanted to remain at the hotel. The Borgata is a top spot for poker in Atlantic City. Soon after he checked in, though, there was a knock on the door - and it wasn’t room service. In the end, the clerk gave the poker pro a 30th-floor room. Both times, according to the suit, Robbins assured the clerk that he would not do it. The clerk supposedly implored him not to do that and, as per the suit, Robbins - who resides in Massachusetts - also asked if he would survive a leap from a lower floor.
According to the suit, Robbins responded with a question of his own: “If I had to jump from a high-floor window, would I make it?”
Last September, as Robbins checked into the Atlantic City spot ahead of a poker tournament scheduled to take place there, the check-in clerk asked him if he preferred a high floor or a low floor.
Now, a court will decide whether a $1.25 million settlement is in the cards.
