Just a small fact from someone in the know.
So in answer to your question, if they do ban welfare recipients that is all that would happen. The casino wouldn't check on who enters until a big jackpot or a large cash in is presented.
The only way this would ever work is if people had to show id's or slide their id's through a scanner. And to do that there would be a HUGE outcry of civil rights violations (rightly or wrongly) so that will never happen.

really? I have a friend in LA who frequented many casinos in Las Vegas as a whale and was banned from many many casinos. Was always approached the moment he stepped onto the casino floor and was usually told,"I'll be happy to get you comps to any show or dinner, but you're not allowed to game here."
and yes, this friend had a major gambling problem where they would fly him back to his home in LA to allow him to get to his safe and get more cash to play.
Now, if it's not right for a casino, many many people on welfare seem to play Lotto and scratchers all the time...
