There is nothing you can do but pay, and then find a Gamblers Anonymous chapter near you: http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/index.php You have a problem if the scenario you describe made ANY sense to you.
If you don't have the money to pay the casino, they can not collect from you any more than could a credit card, a doctor, or any other creditor.
This type of debt can be discharged (eliminated) in a bankruptcy. That might make sense if you had lots of other debts you had difficulty.
Short of a bankruptcy, it is likely that some type of payment plan could be negotiated.
