The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has dismissed a case against the San Jose Sharks\u2019 Evander Kane<\/a> that was seeking recovery of $500,000 in unpaid casino markers, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Cosmo sued Kane last November because the Canadian NHL veteran had been given eight lines of credit in amounts ranging from $20,000 to $100,000 on April 15, 2019, which he had not paid back.<\/p>\n

Kane was in town that day because the Sharks were facing the Las Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL playoffs.<\/p>\n

Letting Off Steam<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Cosmopolitan lawsuit demanded repayment of the markers plus legal costs from Kane, who signed a $49 million contract extension with the Sharks in 2018 and is expected to earn $8 million this year.<\/p>\n

An attorney representing the Cosmopolitan, Lawrence Semenza, confirmed to the Review-Journal<\/em> that the case had been dropped, but declined to comment on whether it had been settled out of court.<\/p>\n

\n

Kane may have had good reason to want to blow off some steam on April 15. This was the day after his team was beaten 5-0 by the Knights, and the Sharks forward was issued a game misconduct for dropping Knights defenseman Colin Miller with a left hook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kane has a longstanding and bitter feud with the Knights\u2019 Ryan Reeves that goes back to their days playing against each other in the Western Hockey League.<\/p>\n

Melnyk Fights Back<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kane is not the only NHL personality who has been recently chased for casino markers. In July, Connecticut\u2019s Mohegan Sun launched a $1.05 million legal claim against Eugene Melnyk<\/a>, the owner of the Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n

The casino claims pharmaceutical billionaire Melnyk issued five bank drafts for a total of $900,000 to fund a St Patrick\u2019s Day weekend gambling spree in 2017. But his bank later failed to honor the drafts.<\/p>\n

Melnyk is fighting back. His lawyers argue that the casino<\/a> acted in bad faith when it \u201cfailed and refused defendant\u2019s instruction to cash out defendant\u2019s chips during a gambling session at a time when defendant was winning significant amounts of money, but induced defendant to continue to gamble, during which time plaintiff\u2019s conduct caused defendant to incur substantial losses.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the king of unpaid casino credit lines from the sports world has to be former NBA champion Antoine Walker. In 2011, Walker was ordered by a court in Las Vegas to repay $750,000 in gambling debts he had racked up at three casinos in the city.<\/p>\n

He pleaded guilty to one felony bad check charge and was sentenced to five years\u2019 probation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
