The Star Gold Casino picked him up on their private jet from Singapore, gave him all the luxuries when he arrived in Australia and made sure he was dropped back via their private jet. \u00a0They let him gamble as much as he wanted because they knew that he can afford it. However, at the end of the week-long trip, <strong>the businessman did not cough up over $30 million in losses which he incurred<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Star Entertainment, which operates the Gold Coast casino stated that Wong had given the casino a blank check which they could fill out with the expenses that he incurred. The problem started when the check Wong issued bounced after it was presented to the Singaporean bank. However, the cheque did not bounce because Wong did not have the money. He is reported to have told his bank not to honour the cheque when presented for payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>High Roller Blames Dealer For Losses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wong had spent the week playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/baccarat\">baccarat<\/a> and he contends that his losses were not his fault. He lost because the dealers made multiple mistakes and he was able to secure a written confirmation from casino officials. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also mentioned that he was upset by the incompetence of the dealers, so he wanted to leave even before his check-out schedule. However, the casino hosts offered him more credit and he received a letter from the casino\u2019s chief operating officer which states that there would be no more mistakes from their side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wong\u2019s assertion was that he agreed to accept the offer to stay on and play on the condition that he would not pay for any losses if there were more errors on the side of the dealer. Wong states that the dealers continued to make errors and this is why he instructed his bank in Singapore to not honour the check, referring to their agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Abraham Vergis<\/strong> who is representing Wong has reiterated that his client will contest the charges filed against him as it was a \u201c<em>matter of principle<\/em>\u201d Wong is also seeking to vindicate his name as he is a \u201c<em>highly respected patron<\/em>\u201d of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/blog\/top-10-casinos-in-the-world\">casinos throughout the world<\/a>.
