 The horrendous behaviour was caught on camera at Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, Oregon.

In the video, a player named by several sources as Ricky Forbito responds to a table dispute by launching a vitriolic racist verbal assault on a fellow player.

 Details of the second incident are still unclear, and are believed to involve a different attacker.

There was a high-profile case at the WSOP in 2018, when Italian player Sorin Lovin was DQd after using the ‘N’ word against Maurice Hawkins…
