Harry Kakavas was on honeymoon in November 2006 when he lost $1.4 milling in a single day of gambling. Kakavas made bets of up to $60,000.
Kakavas, a 42-year-old property developer, plans to defend himself by saying that the casino was aware of his gambling addiction and that the debt is not enforceable.
The trial date is set for July.

Thank you Beehamian. Good to see you on this blog too.
Haahahahahahahahahaa...
What a genius move! "It wasnt my fault, they enabled me"
Could you imagine his lawyer's creativity?
"I'd like to refer to case number 45637, fat people vs. McDonalds"
hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
I doubt he'll have to pay $1.4 million, especially if he can prove that Atlantis was aware of his addiction. He is a millionaire but it's likely Atlantis' casino was monitoring his rising debt.
