Mr. Kane is lucky casinos are no longer run by the mob. They would not bother going to court trying to collect debts. I know he signed a big contract but losing $500 K in one session in not a good sign.

Anyone who follows the NHL knows how much of a classless scumbag this guy is....

Good to see a casino biting it. I have zero sympathy for the gambling racket.

Was gonna say....suing him is quite civilized compared to how a Vegas casino would have handled this in the old days.

Pro sports have long been wary of Las Vegas because of the gambling temptation. The NHL made the first real dive into the market with the Golden Knights (note, this was a San Jose player, not a Las Vegas player) but the Oakland Raiders will move to Las Vegas next year and Major League Baseball (home of the 1919 Black Sox scandal and Pete Rose) is toying with the idea of moving the Oakland A’s to Vegas as well.
So, while this looks like a single person event, the pro sports leagues would be wise to order a ban of all their athletes from gambling in their casinos just on the appearance of impropriety.

The Casino and Vegas in general are still run by the mob. They are just more circumspect.

Not a very good life insurance risk when you try to dodge an LV casino for LARGE debts... Still!
"Mob" has nothing to do with it... The deserts have always been the solution of last resort... Gambling that they aren't these days, still, is tantamount to making a "fire" bet...
