The Crown casino in Australia is going after a high roller for allegedly stiffing the house on a massive gambling debt of $6.8 million, according to the Herald Sun.

The casino said that a 13-day gambling binge left the high roller, Zhao Li, with the debt, but that he neglected or refused to pay it despite “repeated requests” by Crown.

According to Crown, back in October they granted him $13 million in credit.

Crown Resorts, which is owned by billionaire James Packer, might want some of that money back as it looks to invest in properties in the United States and in Sri Lanka.
