Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White\u2019s betting habits and stories are widely known in Las Vegas and beyond, but that legend appears to be growing as he recently acknowledged taking Caesars Palace for a big chunk of change earlier this year.<\/p>\n

On a recent episode<\/a> of the \u201cFull Send\u201d podcast, the UFC boss estimated that between January and March, he won $26 million to $27 million playing baccarat at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Caesars Palace \u2026 I clipped these guys for $1 million a night from, like, the first week of January all the way into March,\u201d said White. \u201cI beat these guys for like $26 million, $27 million.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added \u201cCaesars is gangster\u201d and is the place to play for high-level gamblers.<\/p>\n

Caesars allows White to play $350K per hand — a limit extended to him and a small amount of other well-heeled clients. At that level, winning $1 million or more in a night is plausible. It\u2019s also feasible that a bettor could lose substantial sums, and White acknowledged there are nights when a bettor can get \u201cwrecked\u201d betting well into six figures per hand.<\/p>\n

White is a Longtime Caesars Fan<\/h2>\n

White\u2019s methodology, which he reiterated on the \u201cFull Send\u201d podcast, is possibly irksome to some casino operators. If he wins three hands in a row, he takes his winnings and leaves.<\/p>\n

That makes for a $1 million+ night for him and a loss of the same amount for the casino that he \u201cvictimized.\u201d As a result, many Las Vegas casinos refuse to take White\u2019s action, which is why he\u2019s long been devoted to Caesars<\/a> and MGM Resorts International\u2019s Bellagio. On the podcast, he said Caesars will allow him to bet $350K per hand while Bellagio will go as high as $400K.<\/p>\n

\n

White, known for his outspoken demeanor, has previously levied criticism against some Las Vegas casinos for refusing to allow him to bet there. In another recent podcast, he called Wynn Las Vegas \u201ca bunch of (slur referencing a female body part)\u201d for not allowing him to wager there at his preferred limits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Off the Strip, White is known to frequent Red Rock Resort in Summerlin, though he told \u201cFull Send\u201d he plays there at much lower limits because he\u2019s that venue\u2019s only client with the ability to play deep six figures per hand. Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ: RRR) is controlled by<\/a> Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, who were early UFC Investors.<\/p>\n

White Still Wants to Play $1 Million a Hand<\/h2>\n

Despite the fact that his biggest losing night was $8 million, White reiterated his longstanding goal of eventually betting $1 million per hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s my goal. That\u2019s my goal in life before I die,\u201d said White on the podcast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said under that dream scenario, he\u2019d want a casino to extend to him $30 million in credit so he can play $1 million a hand, but he acknowledged no gaming venue anywhere in the world is likely to indulge him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
