INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - - The Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled that the Caesars Indiana casino, now Horseshoe Southern Indiana, wasn't obligated to protect a problem gambler who lost $125,000 in a single night.

The three-judge panel said Friday that 52-year-old Nashville, Tenn., resident Jenny Kephart failed to take advantage of programs that allow compulsive gamblers to have themselves banned from casinos.

Kephart's lawyer, Terry Noffsinger of Evansville, says he's disappointed by the decision. He says he won't know about a possible appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court until he has spoken to Kephart.
