Professional gambler who won $4 million shares shocking way he beat the casinos

A professional gambler who won a whopping $4.5 million at a casino revealed how he used to beat the casinos.

Mikki Mase is a professional gambler known for his poker playing techniques and winning big.

Mase, whose real name is Michael David Meiterman, is well-known in the Las Vegas and Los Angeles gambling communities due to his big spending and even bigger wins.

According to Techopedia, his net worth could be anything between $8.5 million to $43.5 million, but it could be even more.

Can you imagine going home with that amount of cash? But how did he do it?

Speaking to The Connect Podcast, he explained that there was a secret way to beat the casino, sharing that he used to be able to beat the casinos using a trick that is no longer on the cards.

He said: “When you get paid promo chips, you go to a Baccarat table, you bet max bet on bank and then equal max bet on player.”

A Baccarat table is essentially a card game which allows you to bet against the player or the banker for having the right hand.

You could also select a ‘tie’ in the game, however betting for the player to win or the banker to win is a better way to promise results.

He said you’re always going to win because you’ve bet on each side, and you’ll win big.

However, the casinos stopped anyone from being able to do this after noticing that even if the better lost one side, they’d probably win the other.

Mase has previously recounted the story of how he began gambling at the age of just 13 and shared a time of how he won nine times the amount of money he started with.

Believing himself to be 'one of the biggest gamblers in Las Vegas history', Mase says at one stage, the 'whole city was out to get [him]' because of the amount of money he was making.

Mase said: "I was in Vegas with my buddy Ian. I had a goal that day - and my goal was to win as much as I can as fast as I can.

"The problem is the casinos are so smart, way smarter than I'll ever be."

Mase went in with $500,000, and first cashed out when he hit $1 million. He took the cash and moved onto a different casino.

He then doubled his money, before going to on to make $3 million and cashing out for a second time.

While the cashier was getting him the money, Mase claims that he made another $1.5 million in that time - bringing his grand total to $4.5 million, making him a very rich man within a night,
