What's the most someone has lost at a casino?

Here we have eleven of their stories describing the worst casino losses of all time. #1 – $10 million over three weeks. “I worked in a large casino NOT in America. ... #2 – $9 million in one night. ... #3 – $720,000 in five hours. ... #4 – $320,000 in 25 minutes.

“A few years back I saw a big player lose $320,000 in 25 minutes. He had just sat down with three full racks of $1000 checks (chips). A rack holds 5 stacks of 20 checks, so each of these racks held $100,000 in checks. I was on my way to a 20 minute break as he was just getting started. As I returned to the floor, I noticed that he now only had two rows of checks left ($40,000). Five minutes later, my friend who was in the section where this player was playing informed me that he had lost the last $40,000, re-bought for $20,000 and then lost that in a matter of minutes. This is a player who get whatever he wants. We don’t do bottle service at our tables at my casino, but this player will have a bottle of wine sent to his game. He, obviously, will have a reserved table waiting for him when he arrives and will get his choice in dealer as well. He doesn’t like to talk to the dealer or supervisor and no other guests are allowed to watch him play. He will have multiple filet mignon meals waiting for him, to go, upon his departure. He has his own parking space near the front doors… like an actual spot with his initials that nobody else can use. Losing that amount of money didn’t seem to phase him and I’ve seen him back many times since.”

#5 – $2,200,000 loss ended in suicide

“The house lost $3 million in an hour to this player, and then they won $5.2 million back from him over the next six hours. The player slowly lost all his gains and an additional $2.2 million to the casino. He hanged himself in the suite that night. Word had it that he was on the verge of bankruptcy and this was his final resort.” (The dealer quit after this incident.)

#6 – $20,000 profit turns into a $5,000 loss

“When I was a croupier I was dealing roulette. Guy was up around $20,000. By the time I had finished with him he had lost that and spent another $5,000. He wasn’t very happy.”

#7 – $209,000 blackjack loss

“I tap onto my blackjack game and this guy I’m dealing to tells me he is already down around $100k. He’s a white guy, mid 50’s or so, wearing a tacky plaid suit. He was betting $500-$1k a hand, two hands every time. Over about 4 hours the guy floats between my table and the one next to me buying in $10k at a time. I gave him one good shoe the whole night so I was busting his head essentially the whole time. A couple times it took longer for me to count his buy in than for me to put it in my rack. Shit, there were so many 100 dollar bills in my money box it was getting tough to put the paddle in it. My floor tells me after he leaves that he lost $209k after it was all said and done. He treated it like how I would treat losing one grand maybe. He wasn’t happy but he seemed like he could shrug it off. My floor was like “yea, I could pay off my entire mortgage with what he just lost”. I died a little inside that day but it’s not my money after all.”

#8 – $10,000 and a divorce

Are dollar slots worth it?

Dollar machines in most cases have a higher payback percentage. Penny machines, the lowest overall. so if your playing one dollar a spin on a dollar machine, chances are you will do better than playing a $1 on a penny machine.

Dollar machines in most cases have a higher payback percentage. Penny machines, the lowest overall. so if your playing one dollar a spin on a dollar machine, chances are you will do better than playing a $1 on a penny machine. Virtually all of the newest penny machines are set to force you to play max bet which can be $1.50 or a lot more to have any chance of hitting the multiple progressives. When you play less than max, the wins seem to be $20 or less which means in the short term, you will contnue losing money without that progressive hit. they entice you with the bonus rounds. then you hit a bonus and win like a $1. You will also notice on the new penny machines, you win something nearly every spin, but it less than what you bet,so its a steady drain on the money you put in. you stand a way better chance playing the old style 3 reel dollar machines of hitting like a $1000 win. As much as I have played, I just cant get ahead $1000, playing penny machines. If I stick with playing $1 a spin on an old dollar machine, I can usually get a couple large wins in a 4 day trip, that make it a profitable trip because I know its time to quit playing when I am up and not expect that magical big hit. in other words, hitting a $100 on a penny machine is a big win, but on a dollar machine, thats probably a $1000 win..
