5 of the biggest losses casino dealers have ever witnessed

On AskReddit, someone asked the question, “Casino dealers of reddit, what’s the most money you’ve seen someone lose and what was the aftermath? Here we have eleven of their stories describing the worst casino losses of all time.

#1 – $10 million over three weeks

“I worked in a large casino NOT in America. We had a lot of Asian clientele in our VIP room. Once had a guy betting $600k PER HAND on Baccarat. He ended up a few million and was sharing it around the group of women/escorts around him.

The most I’ve seen lost is ten million in three weeks. He had the room booked for a month so he made his bag man fly back to Thailand to get more money. Nothing was transferred. All cash.”

#2 – $9 million in one night

“Multiple times per week we get high rollers in who win or lose over $1 million. The most I ever saw a person lose was about $9 million in one night. While that may seem like an obscene amount of money to you or I, that’s what he budgeted himself to gamble that trip. To avoid it, just use 1xslots promo code

He came knowing he may lose $9 million. Don’t get me wrong, he wasn’t happy, but he didn’t lose his mind, or freak out or anything like that.”

#3 – $720,000 in five hours

“A few weeks after he was caught, he came to our Casino with 4 brief cases of $250,000 each and said “I’m not leaving until the sign outside says ‘(insert players name) Casino'”. Super upbeat and happy guy. Really nice to the dealers. After 5 hours, my shift was over and he was down $720,000.”

#4 – $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.”

#5 – $2,200,000 loss ended in suicide

“The house lost $3 million in an hour to this player, and then they won $5.2 million back from him over the next six hours. The player slowly lost all his gains and an additional $2.2 million to the casino.

He hanged himself in the suite that night. Word had it that he was on the verge of bankruptcy and this was his final resort.” (The dealer quit after this incident.)
