“I love everybody over there,” he said when asked about tipping $10,000 for a $10k meal. However, this doesn’t mean that he’ll completely stop going to the Palms because he frequents the N9ne Steakhouse. After he was banned last time, White refused to schedule any UFC events at the casino resort. No messing around with limits.”įollowing his second ban at the Palms, it’ll be interesting to see what this does with the relationship between White and the casino. They will let you play what you want to play. Realistically, there’s only one place to play left in town. They want to stack the odds so much against you that won’t play. They’re all owned by hedge funds and corporations. I’m the farthest thing from card counter,” White said. “A lot of people are going to think I’m a card counter after that Ben Affleck thing at the Hard Rock. However, he maintains that he didn’t count cards to win the $2 million fortune. The common thinking here would be that White is a card counter. The gesture worked as White was back on the tables from March 1st to May 21st.Īs reported by Norm Clarke from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, White says he “beat them for (nearly $2 million), and they asked me not to play there anymore.” On May 21st, he was also told that his betting limit for all table games would be reduced from $25,000 to $5,000, which he equates to as “walking papers.” So he decided to boycott the Palms until their chief executive, Dan Lee, sent a bottle of 2001 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Montrachet (worth $5k). The first ban was for the same reason: White won too much money playing blackjack. This is the second time that White has received a ban from the Palms in the last two years. UFC President Dana White says that he won $2 million while playing blackjack at the Palms Casino Resort, prompting them to essentially ban him from their highest stakes. Ben Affleck might have some competition for the celebrity blackjack champion crown.
