simple solution - I contacted Casino Control enforcement division, they are investigating if there is any historical case of employee termination for disclosing information about a casino customer's habits. The enforcement officer I spoke to wasn't positive hence she will get back to me, but she thinks this is a case by case situation with each casino depending on their employee contracts. She doesn't know which employee or casino we are discussing to protect Linda's confidentiality, I'm not trying to get her fired, but this is an interesting topic of discussion that we can clarify rather quickly instead of us all acting as armchair quarterbacks.

I'll report back when I learn more.

If it's in their contract then I will happily stand corrected.

UPDATE: Casino Control has no jurisdiction over this matter, this would be an issue between the labor board and the employer if (once)the employee was terminated. She said that she was not aware of a prior instance where this topic was discussed, but she was also able to confirm that its the casino's right to terminate an at-will employee for any reason (I do not know if Bellagio dealers are considered at-will, I didn't want to disclose too much information) including disclosing customer habits.

So the short answer is the casino can probably terminate Linda for disclosing the habits of a customer if they felt it was necessary, of course contractual issues would have to be considered but it doesn't necessarily have to be stated as such in the contract. If anyone wishes to clarify the next step would be to contact the labor board, please follow my model by assuring all communications are done discreetly.

I'm surprised to see that this has turning into such an interesting topic!

Sounds like a draw to me. I've talked to plenty of people in h.r. who say that firing someone who's at-will is never quite as easy as it sounds but I live in MA which is pretty worker-protective. I have no idea how it would work in a state like NV and won't even try to speculate.
