Takeylyn Gibson and her twin daughters, Tajhanae and Tahziana Gibson, are seeking an unspecified sum in damages and punitive damages.

The paperwork filed Monday by Schenectady attorney Daniel Smalls indicates the matter stems from a May 22 incident at the waterfront casino. Named as the defendant is Capital Region Gaming LLC, doing business as Rivers Casino & Resort, along with five security officers, names unknown.

Rivers typically does not comment on legal matters, and hadn’t seen the paperwork in this particular case, a spokesman said later Monday.
