Lawsuit against Famous US casino Caesars Palace

A gambler who lost 112 million dollars (74 million euros) in just one year has brought a lawsuit against the holding company of the famous US casino Caesars Palace, claiming that casino employees intoxicated him with pills and alcohol.

According to information from the Daily Telegraph newspaper, in 2007 Ferry Watanabe spent a fortune gambling non-stop for six months on slot machines and roulette tables at Caesars Palace casino.

Following a losing streak, 52-year-old Watanabe ended up owing 15 million dollars (10 million euros) and was eventually charged with theft.

The British newspaper reports that in his lawsuit Watanabe accuses Harrah's, which owns the enigmatic casino in Las Vegas, of fraud, breach of contract, conspiracy and negligence.

Watanabe insists that the company executives conspired against him in order to siphon off his wealth, but Harrah's maintains there was never any conspiracy.

"We have a great reputation for ethical and responsible practices", said a spokesperson for the company in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.
