Part 1: Mikki Mase Doesn't Think Terry Rozier's Illegal Betting Charge Will Stick
--------
Professional gambler Mikki Mase revealed the shocking story of losing $8 million in a single baccarat session at the Venetian casino in Las Vegas — despite suspecting he was being cheated. According to Mase, experienced dealers and pit bosses would employ deceptive tactics like "burning" extra cards and false shuffles to disrupt advantage players' strategies. Casinos collect extensive data on gamblers’ behaviors and manipulate decks accordingly to prevent consistent winning.
During the infamous session, Mase initially lost $6-7 million betting high stakes but eventually realized the deck was rigged against his usual play style. By reversing his approach, he turned the tables, winning $9 million in 45 minutes and ending the day with $1 million net profit. However, his casino success was short-lived; Mase was immediately banned for 100 years, marking a dramatic end to his historic encounter with casino cheating.
