BLACKFORD v. PRAIRIE MEADOWS RACETRACK

No. 08-0586.

778 N.W.2d 184 (2010)

Troy BLACKFORD, Appellant, v. PRAIRIE MEADOWS RACETRACK AND CASINO, INC., Appellee.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

February 12, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ryan T. Beattie, Beattie Law Firm, P.C., Des Moines, for appellant.

Dennis P. Ogden and Margaret C. Callahan, Belin Lamson McCormick Zumbach Flynn, Des Moines, for appellee.

BAKER, Justice.

The appellee, Prairie Meadows, seeks further review of the opinion of the court of appeals which held the casino did not have statutory or regulatory authority to withhold winnings from a person who had been involuntarily excluded from the gambling facility. We determine that no contract existed between Prairie Meadows and Blackford, and, therefore, his claim of conversion must fail.
