No, he was about 30-35 years old, white guy, average looking, nothing special or odd about his play. Sorta looked like a local, and I recall him asking the dealer "why can't the guy play?". Dealer responded "don't know".

At first I made a bit of a stink about the situation, then realizing my two friends (who are solid APs), were wanting to play the table. So, I just chilled and disappeared to the slot area. After winning the $300, I just kinda floated around for a while watching other players and tried to avoid the table so my buddies could continue to play.

At one point, I did sit at first base with my plastic cup of coins, after asking and getting permission to do so. I probably sat there for 5-10 minutes, then cashed the coins and hung out at a craps table till my friends said "let's go". Total time there was maybe an hour.

BTW, my friends lost. They too had no idea, nor was it discussed at the table in my absence by either the dealer, pit or other player. When I left, I did cruise by the pit manager and he was apologetic but offered nothing to explain my being in essence barred from that table. He said I was welcome to play anything else in the house and hoped I'd come back! I looked at him and said "do you really think that's gonna happen?" At that point it was useless to continue any conversation and I left the casino, joining my friends in the parking lot.

Geez, I took a shower earlier, washed my hands after the men's room visit and certainly wasn't offensive in any way.
