Las Vegas: He has lost $204 million in just 1 year!
Tags: Caesars Palace, Harrahs casino rio, las vegas, Terrance Watanabe.
Posted on 07 June 2010 by "T".

The businessman Terrance Watanabe has lost more money at a commercial casino than anyone else has ever done before - according to professor and gambling expert William Thompson at University of Nevada. As you probably already have figured out, it's not small amounts we're talking about here. Terrance Watanabe has lost $204 million in just 1 year at different casinos in Las Vegas. Not enough with that. Terrance is now also risking 28 years behind bars for a false check he issued, in order to pay off his debts of 14.7 million dollars, to Harrah's casino Rio and Caesars Palace.

According to Terrance, he's not owe them anything as they had promised to give him a 30% discount on everything he lost. Terrance has also opened a civil rights case against Harrah's. He claims that they have been giving him prescription drugs, alcohol and other things to keep him happy while losing millions of dollars. However, he has accepted the fact that he has a problem with his gambling and he doesn't want any of the money he lost back.

We will probably hear more about this very soon as the case will be up in court on the 12th of June.

yeah ... but first he must pay what he lost ,
he thinks he can get away so easy.
 kazman07/06/2010 11:01:07 GMT
what an idiot
how can someone lose so much money and then realise that he has a gambling problem.

Casionos are also a bunch of cheese dicks, watch him blowing his life away and giving him 30% discount. Criminal bitches

WTF?? $204k in just one year. He has the same problem as me Sad We are both sick persons lol

dont know this guy, but someone who lost over $200 million doesnt mean hes got a gambling problem.
think its the same as if one of us lose $200 in a year ? he obviously can afford it and plays in other dimensions lol.
most of us would spend that money in something else as in a casino, thats for sure.

What bothers me most about this, isn't that guys actions, though obviously irresponsible, but the fact that casino's actively encourage this behavior once they notice it, instead of putting barriers in place for people like this. It's really disgusting behavior, to pray on people in this situation.
 synedjos07/06/2010 23:12:39 GMT
wow, how long can he play like that
maybe he want to have free room at every casino.
