At one point Wednesday, the mystery player was betting more than $100,000 at a time on the craps table. Rodio said the winning craps player also will be invited back for more high-stakes gambling. Johnson complained that Atlantic City’s casinos are refusing him a chance to play again, but Tropicana’s billionaire owner, Carl Icahn, said he plans to personally invite Johnson back to the blackjack tables. He did say, however, that it was not Don Johnson, the high-rolling blackjack player who revealed his identity in a May 22 story in The Press of Atlantic City.
Rodio declined to name the craps player, saying it is Tropicana’s policy to protect the privacy of its customers. He also got lucky playing blackjack and mini-baccarat. Tony Rodio, Tropicana’s new chief executive officer, said the unidentified gambler won most of the money at the craps table during a six-hour hot streak Wednesday night. Two months after a blackjack player won $5.8 million, another gambler has burned the casino for $5.3 million.
