FORMER Death Row Scot Kenny Richey has been barred from his local casino before he loses all his money.
He said has been gambling hundreds of pounds during late night games of black jack and roulette.
After revealing he lost £1000 in one visit, the casino has now banned him stating they have a "social obligation".
The 41-year-old, who spent 21 years on Death Row before being released in January, says he has been victimised and has now joined another casino instead. Mr Richey, who lives in Dalry, said bosses at the Circus Casino in Fountain Park called him in for a meeting after reading of his losses.
He said: "In the last few weeks I have won £740, £700, £400 and £3000. Over all I am about even.
"After it was reported that I'd lost a grand, the casino told me they were cancelling my membership, saying they had a social responsibly to do so."
Circus Casino said they couldn't comment for confidentiality reasons.
