A $285,000 jackpot won with help from a banned gambler at The Star cannot be retained and has to be paid out, a court has ruled.
On Friday, David Joe was awarded almost $320,000 including interest in the District Court which found the casino illegally refused to hand over a jackpot won on October 25, 2019.

'In the context of their playing machines for several hours, (Mr Joe's) truly significant disability, plainly deprived him of the ability to operate the machines himself for enjoyment,' wrote Judge Robert Montgomery.
