Lester started out well as he got lucky and started winning but as the game progressed, his luck ran out and he started to pile up his losses.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the night, <strong>Lester had incurred over \u00a3600,000 in losses and ended up handing the casino a cheque for \u00a3589,724.<\/strong> The remaining amount was apparently what the casino owed Lester Hui. When the <strong>casino tried to cash his cheque it bounced<\/strong> and Lester wasn\u2019t willing to make it good which forced Aspinall\u2019s Club Ltd to take legal action to recover the outstanding funds.<\/p>\n<p>Lester Hui has launched a defense which claims that the casino staff at the Curzon Street casino had continued to offer him \u2018<em>firewater<\/em>\u2019 which is a special Chinese alcohol and kept giving him more until he was \u2018<em>blackout drunk<\/em>\u2019. Lester claims that he <strong>was completely intoxicated and legally incapable of making any decisions<\/strong> and hence should not be held liable for the \u00a3600,000 in losses.<\/p>\n<p>His legal team claims that casino staff deliberately shirked their responsibility to protect customers from gambling harm and did not comply with their social gambling responsibilities. Lester\u2019s legal team alleges the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/uk\">UK casino<\/a> kept giving him alcohol as it was in their best interests to get him drunk and let him incur huge financial losses.<\/p>\n<h2>Aspinall\u2019s Club Ltd Disputes Lester Hui\u2019s Claims <\/h2>\n<p>Aspinall\u2019s Club Ltd has disputed all of those claims and allege that Lester Hui was not blackout drunk as he claims to be and was in his senses to make clear decisions as well as drive himself home after his gambling session. <\/p>\n<p>The case will continue to play out in court but it does not look too good for Aspinall\u2019s Club Ltd as of this writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Chinese VIP gambler Lester Hui lost \u00a3600,000 playing at a
