That right there is what literates call a comma splice.

First off, you have to know what a comma splice is. A comma splice is when you connect two independent clauses using a comma without a coordinating conjunction. In laymen terms, you connect two sentences that can stand on their own with a comma and you don't use one of these connecting words: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
2
Here are a few examples of comma splices:
--- He ran into the wall, he fell down.
---Jason didn't like to eat French fries, however he loved to eat baked potatoes.
--- Shakespeare never had to learn how to use a typewriter, he wrote everything by hand.
3
If you need to determine if something is a comma splice there is an easy solution. Look at the two parts of the sentence that you have connected with a comma. Say each half of the sentence. If both parts of the sentence can stand alone as their own separate sentence, then you have a comma splice on your hands.
4
Now if you have a comma splice, there are a few ways you can fix it. The easiest way is to replace the comma with a period. If both sentences make sense on their own, and don't need the each other to make sense, this is the easiest option. Your other option is to connect the two clauses with one of the connecting words that I mentioned above.

Here are the corrected comma splices from above:
--- He ran into the wall, and fell down.
--- Jason didn't like to eat French fries. However, he loved to eat baked potatoes.
--- Shakespeare never had to learn how to use a typewriter, so he wrote everything by hand.

Blame the Phoenicians. Also, yes, generally if you left on fair terms (i.e. NOT setting fire to the gamblers on the casino floor) a nice, lengthy conversation with the casino management expertly enacted should put you back into favorable terms with the casino.

EDIT: Screw that, Capitalise is the original British version, America's spelling (which came afterwards and is considered an alternate spelling) is generally considered incorrect in the first place.
You see, that's just it, it's the British spelling. If you are in Britain, "capitalise" is correct. I am in America, and my Firefox is telling me that "capitalize" is correct. There is a right/wrong spelling, and it depends on your location, silly.

OT: Go to the other casinos, get banned from them, get an achievement, then talk to the management to get unbanned. Where is the management? Pretty sure you can find that out by asking either the greeters (people who take your guns) or the clerks you see when you first enter the casino, or just try talking to people who actually have names in the casino.

Well if you're in America, then capitalise is considered an alternate spelling.

Fixed that for you.
Just talk to casino management.
If you're going to be a grammar nazi, you could at least capitalise the first (word in a sentence.
If you're going to be a grammar Nazi too, you could at least spell capitalize correctly.
"Capitalise" is the correct British English spelling.
And, I'd like to point out, the correct spelling in general. It was here first. The Americans can keep their letter z.
Zed. Not Z. :)

More fixing.
Just because I didn't spell it out phonetically doesn't mean I don't pronounce it like that. :p
You ever notice how the word "phoenetically" isn't spelled phoenetically?
Mainly because it's "Phonetically"
:p

This has gotten severely off-topic...
