Dana White added another seven figure baccarat win to his Las Vegas gambling record after taking $1 million from one hand at Park MGM.
Good to Know
- White received a nine against a dealer eight to win the $1 million wager.
- Park MGM required White and SteveWillDoIt to bet on opposite sides.
- SteveWillDoIt recovered from an early $1 million loss and finished about $800,000 ahead.
Park MGM Limits How the Pair Can Bet
White has played high stakes baccarat in Las Vegas for years and has said some casinos restrict the limits available to him. Park MGM took a similar approach during the latest session.
The casino agreed to accept separate $1 million wagers from White and SteveWillDoIt, whose real name is Stephen Deleonardis, but would not let both men back the same baccarat side.
White said:
“They call me and go, ‘Here’s the deal, you can both bet $1 million but you can’t bet the same hand.’ So if Steve bets player and I bet banker, someone’s gonna win and someone’s gonna lose. It’s the goofiest s**t of all time. That’s their way of telling me they don’t want me to play a place.”
Deleonardis had contacted White because he wanted to make a $1 million bet. White then helped arrange the session with Park MGM.
White ended up with the better result on the first major wagers. Deleonardis lost $1 million, while White later received a nine against a dealer eight and won his $1 million hand.
“My first time that I (wagered $1 million) at the Bellagio … the dealer got a seven, and I got a one,” White said. “An eight or a nine are like a blackjack – game’s over, you win. A seven is f*****g impossible to beat, especially if you have a one. I got the eight off the one to beat him, 9-7.
“Then the second time we just did it (at Park MGM), the dealer got an eight, and I got a nine. Two impossible f*****g hands at a million bucks.”
UFC fighter Tommy McMillen also appeared with White and Deleonardis during the casino session.
White Adds to Long High Stakes Gambling Record
The Park MGM result follows several large reported baccarat sessions involving White. He won about $1.2 million at Fontainebleau in 2025 and has openly discussed gambling for long periods between UFC business commitments.
Deleonardis described that routine:
“If I lose Dana money, he could get it back within a few hands or he could sit here for hours and just keep moving meetings with Abu Dhabi to play Baccarat. I’ve played with Dana all the way through the night till the morning and seen him go right into a meeting with Abu Dhabi.”
Deleonardis eventually recovered from his $1 million loss at Park MGM and reached roughly $800,000 in profit. White then encouraged him to stop and cash out.
White gambling activity has also crossed into the U.S. tax debate. Federal rules now limit deductible gambling losses to 90% for tax years beginning in 2026, compared with the previous 100% limit up to gambling winnings. White has supported restoring the earlier treatment.
A separate 2025 report also claimed White owed Red Rock Resorts $25.2 million in gambling debt. White rejected the story and called it “clickbait bulls***.” Red Rock Resorts did not publicly confirm the reported figure.
