The casino itself, with its restaurants and shops, would certainly fall under the civil rights act. Are you saying that the gaming sections of the casino are exempt? Do you have a citation? I find this difficult to believe.

And to the poster who keeps bringing up some state's right-to-refuse-service law....that is irrelevant. The federal law would trump it. The only issue is whether, under federal law, certain areas of the casino can discriminate because they are not considered public accomodations, unlike the restaurants and bars.
