Is it still true that courts of equity refuse to enforce any claims against gambling debt? I read a case a while ago about a minor, 19 year old kid, who won $1 million and sued the casino when they refused to pay him because of him not being 21; using the doctrine 'unclean hands' the court ruled that they had to "leave the parties where they found them." Is it Casino policy to allow minors to gamble (and lose money) and not pay them when they win?
