UFC President Dana White, a notorious gambler, has just been kicked out of the Palms for the second time. After going up $2 million over a three month streak, the casino first cut his bet limit then ejected him altogether. His winning streak was a blow to the Palms, who are reportedly having a trophy made for him, so it's all in good fun.
Some people are good at gambling. Dana White is, apparently. He's so good in fact that he's not allowed to play at the Palms anymore. The casino was losing to White so bad that they asked him not to come back, much to the chagrin of the dealers and servers, whom he was tipping upwards of $200,000 (via Fox Sports):
"'A lot of people are going to think I'm a card counter after that Ben Affleck thing at the Hard Rock,' White told the Review-Journal. 'I'm the farthest thing from card counter...
"'Casinos don't want to gamble anymore,' White said. 'They're all owned by hedge funds and corporations. They want to stack the odds so much against you that won't play. Realistically, there's only one place to play left in town. That's Caesars. They will let you play what you want to play. No messing around with limits.'"
White said they were going to give him a trophy that said "Congrats, you kicked our ass and made us tap out."
At first the Palms cut his limit but then they just decided they couldn't take the beating anymore. According to White, that's how most casinos are. White says they're sore losers. He also says they usually just hand you the cash and show you the door. In a January interview he said at one point when started to win big consistently he started bringing trash bags to the casino with him (via Bloody Elbow):
"'I'm like, are you serious? We're going to get killed,' White said. 'They don't have some kind of suitcase where they put the money in. "You just beat us, here you go." That's really the attitude.'"
