Gambling in the land and online casino gambling industries can have some serious drawbacks – and in this case it’s for the venue and not the gamblers himself. The Aspinall land casino in London launched a case several months ago targeting a Syrian high-stakes gambler who frequented the land venue but failed to pay on a $2 million check. The case has made headlines because it shows that although the land and online casinos are often considered the bad guys in many lawsuits there are some questionable circumstances.

The case gets complicated but basically the information shows that the Syrian gambler, Fouad al-Zayat, wrote a check for $2 million to Aspinall’s Casino. Following casino policy, Aspinall’s called al-Zayat’s bank to confirm that the check could clear and allowed al-Zayat to gamble the $2 million in funds. But after gambling and leaving the casino, al-Zayat demanded that his bank stop payment on the check.

Throughout the course of the court case, it became clear that the land and online casinos have some fault depending on the circumstances. In this case Aspinall’s allowed al-Zayat to continue gambling at the casino as a way to recoup some of the lost funds.

To conclude the case though al-Zayat was not required to pay Aspinall’s the $2 million in gambled funds, but at the same time, al-Zayat’s case against Aspinall’s for more than $10 million was also dismissed. Most who are familiar with the case agree that while the law was applied correctly in this case, there is a certain sense of injustice in it all because the land and online casinos come out the losers in this ruling.
