Terry Watanabe on Gambling Away $350 Million Fortune​

He got some amazing comps though, just sayin'


Not as good as comps as "Vegas Matt", but close.

Poor Terry. They fkd him good. Only evil assholes would do that to someone. I’m happy czr is getting Crushed now. Hopefully the stock price goes so low it gets taken over by another operator .

"How did your father amass his fortune?"

"He didn't gamble....."

May you go back down to 2 dollars. Assholes.

absolutely agree... been in gaming industry for decades, starting with Circus Circus, Leroys, Lucky's, William Hill....but when Caesar's bought them all out the environment went downhill fast. Many long time professionals like me just jumped ship because the Caesar vibe was so bad.

Also. Watanabe first went to Wynn casino when he started gambling in Vegas. He lost 20 mm and Steve Wynn pulled him to the side. He said. “Terry. You are a problem gambler. Your drinking doesn’t help either. I’m not going to let you kill yourself here. I am banning you from playing at my properties. Get help. This will end bad for you if you dont. “

These were words told to me by Tim Poster at Wynn. An executive that was friendly with all the big players / losers.

So what did terry do ? He went across the street to czr and literally lit all his money on fire with the help of those assholes.
