Terrance Wattanabe was a “whale”—the kind of wealthy gambler a casino loves to have as a regular. The Wall Street Journal says he’s now suing Harrah’s, accusing the casino of helping him to lose $127 million in a year. He believes the casino company is partly responsible for his losses, accusing staff of routinely giving him drinks and medication as part of a “systematic plan” to keep him gambling.
