A gambler who apparently lost far more than what he claims he agreed to borrowing within the type of a marker recently had a federal appeals court decide in his favor.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a federal appeals court reinstated Konstantis Zoggolis’ lawsuit against Wynn Las Vegas over a disputed $1.3 million the casino says he owes.
The gambler sued the casino to bypass payment and the casino sued him for the payment.
The gambling in question happened in 2008.
The court’s decision that went in Zoggolis’ favor also said that the gambling debt case doesn’t must be heard as a patron dispute case in front of the three-member Gaming Control Board because under Nevada law a marker is a legal contract.
If it was heard in front of the Gaming Control Board, that will presumably be favorable to Wynn’s side and never fair to the gambler, the report indicated.
The lawyer for the gambler wants the case to be heard in federal court only. The lawyer could also be looking to consolidate the 2 lawsuits relating the $1.3 million.
Basically, the gambler claims that he imposed a $250,000 limit on his marker, meaning that he didn’t need to play for any amount greater than that, but that Wynn Las Vegas kept issuing him credit, and he couldn’t turn it down, until the total debt was $1.3 million.
