The story has been told numerous times about a gambler who gets caught up in his own debt pretending to be a high roller and to be, only to turn around and blame the casinos for their unruly behavior. In Nebraska, gambler Terry Watanabe ran up a bill of nearly $15 million pretending to be a high roller in the Caesars Palace casinos. After the many attempts of the casinos to have the money returned to them, Watanabe struck back and decided to sue the gambling venue and claim that they were responsible for his gross debt.
According to the gambling philanthropist, Caesars Palace encourages behavior by giving him alcohol and prescription drugs. This was the gamblers reason for participating in ongoing wagering for over six months in 2007. Neither the time has come for them to collect their debts he is once again trying to con his way out by taking the casino to court and placing the blame on them instead of taking responsibility for his own actions.
According to reports from the telegraph, he is doing the gambling venue, Harrah’s who are the owners of the Caesars Palace Casino. The charges that he is claiming are fraud, breach of contract, conspiracy and negligence. According to reports he is saying that it was Caesars Palace Casino employees who were giving him prescription painkillers as well as alcohol which then encouraged him to gamble more and spend more money, therefore throwing him into a whirlwind of debt.
With any luck, even if the casino plays at fault in this, the gambler will lose the case and be forced to pay up the debt that he is. The casino should also be negligent for participating in this type of behavior that should definitely be discouraged throughout the casinos all along the Las Vegas strip. By setting an example of one casino, others may stray away from participating in this type of illegal activity.
