$320,000 in 25 minutes

 

A few years back I saw a big player lose $320,000 in 25 minutes. He had just sat down with three full racks of $1000 checks (chips).

A rack holds 5 stacks of 20 checks, so each of these racks held $100,000 in checks. I was on my way to a 20 minute break as he was just getting started.

As I returned to the floor, I noticed that he now only had two rows of checks left ($40,000). Five minutes later, my friend who was in the section where this player was playing informed me that he had lost the last $40,000, re-bought for $20,000 and then lost that in a matter of minutes.

This is a player who get whatever he wants. We don’t do bottle service at our tables at my casino, but this player will have a bottle of wine sent to his game.

He, obviously, will have a reserved table waiting for him when he arrives and will get his choice in dealer as well.

He doesn’t like to talk to the dealer or supervisor and no other guests are allowed to watch him play. He will have multiple filet mignon meals waiting for him, to go, upon his departure. He has his own parking space near the front doors… like an actual spot with his initials that nobody else can use.

Losing that amount of money didn’t seem to phase him and I’ve seen him back many times since.”
