This is a case of one high-profile Chinese developer who charges a casino for exploiting his gambling addiction and lack of English proficiency, which resulted in a massive accumulation at baccarat tables.
If this Chinese developer-gambler had won the jackpot, would he have also accused the casino? Of course not. He raised this noise only because he turned out to be a loser-gambler and now wants to "
return" his lost money under this far-fetched pretext. In general, he decided to "hide" behind gambling addiction.
Lawsuit Claims Star Sydney Exploited Gambling Addiction
In a lawsuit filed recently, Lee alleges that he was misled into signing documents he couldn’t fully understand, which allowed the casino to extend credit to him, fueling his gambling habits. These claims were reported by The Australian, highlighting that Lee’s situation was exacerbated by his inability to read English.

forced" and that "
he can't read English".
He could have quit the casino at any moment. The signature was signed by him. What discrepancies could there be here?
Do you think that these charges can stand in court? Did Phillip Dong Fang Lee want to recover his losses through legal remedy?
Do you think this is going to be a bad precedent if Phillip Dong Fang Lee wins the case, and casinos should check the behavior of their players if they are exploiting their addiction?

I have voiced my opinion about this gambler above. I think that if he wins this case, he will create a negative precedent for the gambling industry, when every loser will be able to get the money he lost (by himself) out of the casino under the protection of the court.
The rules should be the same for everyone.
