500k reward for finding who drugged a MGM whale
9 Replies
Whatever happened, it seems early in the day for it
I'd like to see his $$$$$ marker history. Was this huge compared to his gambling history
Can't see them drugging him...
Note this is totally different from watanabe debacle
I agree if he was "out of it" for whatever reason then they should not be extending markers
Seems like a nice scam. Sit down and After the very first drink you receive pretend to be out if it and incoherent. If you win big great , if you lose big make up some story about being drugged and file a lawsuit.
so now you not only lose money to the casinos you lose even more money to lawyer fees, not a very well thought out scam
If a patron appears to be intoxicated and is incoherent, a gaming licensee is NOT allowed to let him gamble. That's the rule and a casino would violate the regulation under the scenario you describe.
People make up some story and threaten/file lawsuits every day. Business as usual in the court system, nothing special in our scenario. That is why casinos have defense counsel inhouse or on retainer, to defend against frivolous claims that are brought to court.
Sure and as with anything else in the casino the more you're betting the more they'll look the other way on. Bet 100 dollars a hand and kick the garbage across the pit when you lose a hand they'll kick you out. Do the same thing betting 100k a hand and they'll apologize that the garbage got in the way of your foot.
You know how bad for his business/reputation this situation represents? If he's $40M net worth, he'd only be doing this for ethical (or crazy) reasons..... I mean, he may pay out $500k but get no relief on his markers
On markers, I know they can arrest /charge you... But can they garnish and/or demand bankruptcy?
Vaguely heard of guy as developer. Huge coin collector (where did we hear that before?)
One thing to keep in mind is that Nevada's government's and judicial system is "owned" by the gaming industry
Zero concept of fairness or reasonableness
He definitely needs new "friends."
