USTON v. RESORTS INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, INC.
The Supreme Court of New Jersey (1982) | 89 N.J. 163; 445 A.2d 370
TL;DR: A casino excluded a professional card counter. The court held that property owners who open their premises to the public do not have an absolute right to exclude patrons; they have a duty of reasonable access and cannot exclude skilled players who abide by the rules.
Legal Significance: This case establishes that the common law right to exclude from property open to the public is not absolute but is limited by a duty of reasonable access, preventing arbitrary or unreasonable exclusion of patrons who are not disruptive.
