Higher Roller Claims AC Casinos Lied About CompsDarryl Abramowitz Files Suit In Federal Court Last Month |

New York gambler Darryl Abramowitz said he was promised a bunch of freebies in order to gamble for big money at Atlantic City casinos, but he now claims that when he got there and played they didn’t hold up their end of the deal.
Atlantic City has seen several casinos close over the past year, as gaming revenues in the seaside town have plummeted since 2006.
Abramowitz alleged in his lawsuit that he was promised more than $30,000 in exchange for betting at the Tropicana, Borgata and Revel casinos in 2012. His lawsuit was filed last month.
The high roller is seeking triple damages for alleged violations of the state’s Consumer Fraud Act, as well as legal fees and expenses, reported the Courier-Post.
At the Borgata, Abramowitz won $100,000 gambling, and then the casino decided not to make good on its offer to give him $5,000 for shopping, the suit alleged.
Here’s some more from the report:
According to the suit, when Abramowitz complained to the casino’s management, “he was advised that the Borgata understood why he left while he was ahead, but ‘we are running a business here and we don’t need customers like you.’” The lawsuit similarly asserts the [closed] Revel casino improperly charged Abramowitz $3,747 for items that were supposed to be comped during a June 2012 visit. These included the use of a poolside cabana, described in the suit as “the only way (Abramowitz) would come to Revel.”
The casinos reportedly deny the allegations.
