I'm thinking this isn't the best advice for anyone facing a similar problem.
While it is certainly possible that a player can be told he is banned while he isn't actually officially banned, it's also more likely that there is a ban in effect.
Casinos are private property. The owners and operators can choose who they serve and don't serve.
If a banned person decides to see what would happen, he can find himself asked to leave, professionally, or he can also be held for the police. Or, if they discover him there while banned, it could destroy any possibility that the ban could be lifted.
While a criminal change (for trespassing) might not be filed, it could be. Even a misdemeanor conviction can cause problems that last for years.
If someone tells you that you are banned, best to contact the security department and verify if it's an actual ban and how long it is for before you make a serious mistake that can't be fixed.
If a banned player hits a jackpot, they will want some ID, once the name trips a switch in a computer file, it's all over. No jackpot payout, possible free ride in a police car and more bad things to come.
