A man who lost $500,000 gambling on Super Bowl weekend at a Las Vegas casino is suing the joint, as he claims that he was blacked-out drunk and they should have realized he wasn’t in any condition to bet. The alleged misconduct happened at The Downtown Grand.
According to KSNV, high-stakes gambler Mark Johnston believes the resort cheated him out of $500,000. Gaming rules in the Silver State do say that a casino should not allow a visibly drunk person to gamble.
“I feel like they picked my pockets,” he said. “I feel like they took a drunk guy…like a drunk guy walking down the street, and you reach in his pockets and grab all his money.”
The casino allegedly extended him credit.
A record $119.4 million was bet on the 2014 Super Bowl. The casinos won $19,673,960 from the game, or 16.5 percent of the bets. That was also apparently a record. Seattle beat Denver by a score of 43-8. Denver was minus-2.5 against Seattle.
In 2013, Nevada casinos won just over $200 million on sports betting, up around 19 percent from 2012. The $200 million marked a win percentage of 5.6 percent.
Football accounted for nearly $81 million of that total win.
