Businesses may generally reserve the right to refuse service to anybody, with specific exceptions. A casino couldn't kick somebody out for being black, for example.

Actually I'm not sure if even this is true. I know in connection with Tiger Woods there's been talk of country clubs that only in the last 10 years or so started allowing blacks to join, it wouldn't surprise me if there's some that still hadn't.

Country clubs are allowed to discriminate based on race because they are private clubs not open to the general public. The anti-discrimination laws that prohibit a casino from prohibiting players of certain races apply only to businesses that are open to the general public. If a casino wanted to discriminate based on race, it would have to become a private club with restricted membership.
