After Ben Affleck was caught card counting in Vegas last month, it’s clear the actor’s notorious gambling habit is back with a vengeance. Now, RadarOnline.com has learned, it’s affecting his marriage.

According to a new report in Star magazine, Affleck’s time at the tables has taken a toll on his wife, Jennifer Garner, causing at least one bitter fight.

As RadarOnline.com has reported, An April 22 internal email from the Games Protection Manager at the Wynn and Encore casinos in Las Vegas, Rob Olivetti, warned recipients that Affleck had been spotted counting cards. A few days later, on April 28, he was banned from play at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino over similar issues, and a local security firm issued an all-points bulletin announcing the news, including a picture of Affleck at the tables grabbed from a security camera.

Not mentioned in those reports was the fact that wife Garner was with him at the time.

"Jen demanded to go to Vegas with Ben because she doesn’t trust him,” a source told Star, "and he felt like he had no choice but to take her.”

"But after their dinners there each night, she would go back to their suite while Ben would stay out all night playing cards, betting thousands of dollars at a time,” the source said. "It makes Jen so mad, but once Ben starts gambling, he can’t stop."

He was told he needed to leave and was escorted out Before he left the table, he grabbed a ton of chips and put them in his satchel. Jen followed him out, way behind him. She had her head down and looked embarrassed and ashamed."
