![]() ![]() Johnson admitted to The Press of Atlantic City, taking some losses along the way.īut Tropicana "pulled the deal" after he won a total of $5.8 million, the Borgata cut him off at $5 million, and the dealer at Caesars refused to fill the chip tray once his earnings topped $4 million, according to The Atlantic. So if he were to lose the whole $500,000 he'd only have to pay $400,000. Johnson negotiated for discounts as high as 20 percent after his losses hit $500,000 at the Tropicana and then decided to play. But two years ago with revenues tanking in an unstable market, casinos became desperate to attract big spenders, to the point that they began calling to invite Johnson, a known player, to play in late 2010 with special deals. Perks for high rollers, like free hotel stays and trips on jets, are not new to gambling houses. ![]() "Somebody connected all the dots and said it must be one guy." "I guess for the first time in 30 years, a group of casinos actually had a huge setback on account of one player," Johnson told the magazine. In an interview with The Atlantic, Johnson described how the casinos gave him a 20 percent discount on his losses and slightly more favorable house rules that let him break the bank. He won $6 million from the Tropicana from the Borgata, $5 million, and he took $4 million from Caesar's, all between December 2010 and April 2011. Previously tightlipped about how he did it, Johnson said he played "fair and square" but he did have some favorable conditions when he played single blackjack hands of up to $100,000. Blackjack player Don Johnson revealed in a magazine interview how he won $15 million from three Atlantic City's casinos in about five months. Ma- It's the stuff that gamblers' dreams are made of.
