High Roller Casinos

Robert Maxwell

The late media tycoon Robert Maxwell was cut from the same cloth as the late Kerry Packer, obviously.

He is said to have lost one and a half million UK in 3 minutes playing 3 roulette tables at the same time at three Les Ambassadeurs casino in London. That works out at over £8000 per second.

The media tycoon once said that he did not have a pair of shoes until he was 7 years old- it also sounds like he left Les Ambassadeurs without a shirt..

Born to a poor family in Czechslovakia, Jan Ludvik Hoch - as he was known previously then - built up a media empire that covered the globe.
