Crown Casinos is in pursuit of a high roller gambler that has owed $8 million since 2011. He was given a $13 million credit with the venue for a high-stakes spending spree, but he has not paid the remaining balance, and Crown Casinos is getting impatient. In July 2011, Zhao Li applied for a $6 million credit from the casino. It was eventually approved, and he began spending at the venue in October 2011.
Shortly after he started playing at Crown Casinos, his limit was increased to $8 million. By October 29, his credit was stretched to $10 million. Two days later, it received another generous boost to $13 million. Over the course of 13 days, Li spent over $6.7 million at Crown Casino. There is no word on what games he played or how he managed to lose that much money in just two weeks.
Since then, Crown Casinos’ legal team has repeatedly contacted Li to request repayment – but they have been unsuccessful. All debts to the casino must be repaid within 20 days, but it has been almost four years. The casino operator is unsure about the player’s whereabouts. He is a resident of China but has five-bedroom mansion in North Balwyn. Upon visiting the Australian address, it was discovered that it has been abandoned.
This is certainly an interesting mystery, and we are eager to see how it pans out. However, since it has been over three years since the casino operator has heard from Li, it may be time to shut the case. Now that Crown Casinos plans on opening a venue in Sydney that caters exclusively to high rollers, we cannot help but wonder if this type of conflict will occur more often in 2019 when the casino opens.
The operator will likely have to employ stricter safeguards to prevent any similar situations from occurring.
