In general, security personnel at a casino do not have the right to put their hands on someone without a valid reason, such as a threat to public safety or criminal activity. However, it is important to note that casinos are private establishments and have the right to establish and enforce their own policies regarding identification and other security measures.
If the casino security personnel asked for identification and you did not have it on you, they may have asked you to leave the premises as part of their policy. However, they should not have physically touched you unless there was a legitimate reason to do so. If you felt physically threatened or unsafe, you may want to report the incident to the casino management or law enforcement.
If the incident has traumatized you, it may be helpful to seek support from a therapist or counselor who can help you process your feelings and develop coping strategies. Additionally, if you have concerns about being left alone in public places, you may want to consider carrying identification with you at all times or arranging for a reliable method of transportation.
