After Big Winning Streak, Palms Casino Won't Let Dana White Gamble As Big Anymore: Report

UFC President Dana White recently went on a massive upswing at the Palms in Las Vegas playing an undisclosed game, and then the casino decided to cut his betting limit from $25,000 per hand to $5,000 hand, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.

His winnings of nearly $2 million since March apparently had the casino concerned.

White was not happy with the casino’s decision.

“Casinos don’t want to gamble anymore,” White told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “They’re all owned by hedge funds and corporations. They want to stack the odds so much against you that [you] won’t play.”

According to the Review-Journal, it was the second time in as many years that the Palms decided to limit White’s high-stakes action.

White received a case of $5,000-a-bottle wine from the casino apparently in an effort to entice him to come back there and gamble. He did, but the plan backfired in a huge way.

White said that he beat the casino straight up.

“A lot of people are going to think I’m a card counter after that Ben Affleck thing at the Hard Rock," he said. “I’m the farthest thing from card counter.”
