UFC president Dana White has confirmed that the Palms Casino in Las Vegas told him that he couldn’t gamble in its casinos anymore and cut his per-hand cap from $25,000 to $5,000 after winning nearly $2 million.
There’s also a rumor that he got his walking papers from Palms because he was card counting. “I’m the farthest thing from card counter,” he said. White is famous for dropping $50,000 on a hand of blackjack and has at times admitted that his prodigious gambling has resulted in walking out of casinos with multiple black garbage bags full of money.
The UFC president has no plans of stopping his jaunts at the Palms since it’s home to one of his favorite restaurants in Las Vegas, N9ne Steakhouse. He may not bet a single dollar on the Palms gaming tables again but rest assured that there are other casinos out there that will welcome him with open arms.
