A Malaysian businessman, Lim Han Joeh, has filed a counter-suit against a London casino for £3.9 million (RM21.9 million) that he lost in a card game in 2015. His reasoning? Well, Mr Lim claims that the casino, Aspinalls did not do the right thing by stopping him from losing more during his losing streak in 2015.

Mr Lim, who owns properties in Malaysia and London, played double chance baccarat for 72 hours with limited breaks in between. According to The Daily Mail, Mr Lim, who has a net worth of £40 million (RM225 million) joined the casino as a private club member in 2014 and was allowed to cash cheques up to the value of £600,000 (RM 3.3 million)

When he lost that amount, the casino increased Mr Lim to £1.9 million and then another £2 million in credit, which he managed to lose during his 72-hour session. The casino then sued Mr Lim for the money which he did not pay and won the case.

However, Mr Lim has filed a counter-suit claiming that the casino breached the Gambling Act 2005, which states that “vulnerable people should be protected from being harmed or exploited by gambling”. He argued that Aspinalls did not put to stop him but instead the institution increased his credit limit even more. He also claimed that the casino took advantage of his situation of losing and influenced his judgement by increasing his credit limit.
