- Dana White aims to create a Netflix special featuring $1 million baccarat bets at a Las Vegas casino.
- The UFC CEO’s gambling ventures are widely known.
UFC’s Dana White seeks to harness the organization’s partnership with Netflix to produce an exclusive live event where he will wager $1 million for each hand at a Las Vegas casino to be confirmed later.
The gambling is expected to focus primarily on baccarat, which happens to be White’s preferred game. In a recent conversation on Andrew Schulz’s “Flagrant” podcast, he spoke about his vision for a “me against the house” special on Netflix, where he would request $30 million in credit from a casino to realize this concept.
“It’s like a title fight, just me versus them,” White expressed during the interview. “They’ll display the odds of why they should win, and I should win, and we’ll have one night of betting a million per hand. We could do a Netflix show similar to what we did for the Canelo vs. Crawford fight.”
White mentioned that he’s currently enjoying a winning streak, having not lost at the casino since early September. This streak could deter some Las Vegas establishments from accepting his ambitious Netflix proposal.
Challenges of $1 Million Bets in Las Vegas
It’s considered a common belief that if any Las Vegas casino would agree to his request for $1 million per hand, White would have likely already placed bets at that level.
Regulatory factors also come into play, including the limitation that no bets exceed $500,000 per hand in Las Vegas. These regulations are just one reason White has consistently chosen Caesars and MGM Resorts International’s Bellagio, where he can bet between $350,000 and $400,000 per hand.
Additionally, White has indicated that the Venetian is another venue that welcomes his high-stakes betting without any apprehension when he wins. In contrast, he has pointed out that Wynn Las Vegas isn’t as accommodating toward high rollers who come out on top.
With an estimated net worth ranging from $500 million to $600 million, White has the financial means to absorb a potential $30 million loss. He is also known to frequent certain off-Strip casinos, although it remains uncertain whether those venues would allow him to wager as much as he does at Caesars and Bellagio, especially when it comes to reaching $1 million per hand.
Potential Locations for High-Stakes Betting
Even with the publicity that a Netflix special could generate, it appears improbable that any U.S. casino would accept White’s action at the $1 million mark per hand. However, that does not rule out other possibilities for the gambler; he may need to consider options in Asia.
Rumors suggest that a select few upscale casinos in Macau have previously permitted some VIPs to bet $1 million per hand.
A source informed Casino.org that Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa—Singapore’s two prominent integrated resorts—are willing to take bets of $500,000 per hand, although it is unclear if either has permitted wagering at the million-dollar level.
