Oh wow this is crazy, now this is the kind of situation that would make a really great tv show series, I mean I would watch that. They could go into all the differnt facets of gambling and what goes on behind the scenes at casinos, which i'm sure is very interesting and potentially compromising information if it ever got leaked to the public. I don't want to make casinos out to be shady or anything but there is a reason they have that reputation in hollywood movies and tv shows and the likes of this. Feel sorry for this guy, thats crazy though that billionaires will go to a casino and bet millions. I have a hard time betting $100 on anything without a thorough understanding of my risk and how to play the game and the rules, etc. Crazy stuff!
