Dana White has been banned from gambling at The Palms in Vegas

We already knew UFC president Dana White was no longer allowed to gamble at the Palms. Now we know how much money he took from the Las Vegas casino.
White confirmed with the Las Vegas Review-Journal over the weekend that he won $2 million during a three-month hot streak at the Palms and was subsequently told he could not come back to play. Initially, his limit was reduced from a maximum of $25,000 per hand to $5,000; then he was just outright given the boot.
quote:
Rumor has it that White tipped the dealers almost $200,000 during the stretch in which he won the $2 million. The LVRJ reported during the previous ban that dealers and servers were angry at management for jettisoning White, because of his outlandish tips. White confirmed that Mandalay Bay had invited him to play there.
quote:
“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 doesn't want to hear from critics who say his gambling is out of control.
“Has it affected my personal life?" White said. "Has it affected my professional life? Have I lost all my money? There’s nothing negative about what I’ve been doing lately.”

Sounds weird. Casino management knows that you're eventually going to give it all back. Why would they deny him the ability to do that?

Wow... 5K limit is fairly standard at the large casinos.
Not sure why they would cut him off if he's not counting except for the large tips.
Pretty shitty for them if that is the reason. (House can't win those tips once they're dropped for the dealer)

Please don't feel the need to stick around on this board after your failed ULL flamefest, you're already harming the board.
Thanks for your consideration and wish you well on your time on the SEC Rant.
Thank you.

reason why they did that is we're talking about it... to say they banned dana white is worth more in publicity than him giving the money back and then some...

Vegas doesn't like winners
If you beat them good, your a cheat, cheating, or have some kind of info.

I pretty much lived at The Palms when I lived in Las Vegas
Good Sportsbook for mid week baseball action and the pool was free to locals.

Holy cow.
First time I was in a casino, I was on a craps table and a guy won 600k+.
I was killing it with my $25 dollar bets.

Because you think he's got a magical lucky charm or something? Or because you didn't want your money back?

Yeah, banning him before he gets a chance to lose his money back to you seems like a much better way to operate a casino
