Joe Francis just fired a new shot at Steve Wynn in their nasty battle over Joe’s gambling debt — and according to the countersuit … Steve actually owes Joe a discount on the debt!
Here’s the deal: Wynn sued Joe for $2 million in unpaid gambling debts last year and won. Joe hasn’t paid up yet (he’s appealing) … but just this week Joe filed a countersuit claiming the only reason he gambled at Wynn Las Vegas is because the casino offered him a bargain on his losses.
The suit is a pretty fascinating look into the world of “high-rollers.” In the docs, Francis claims that casinos regularly give big-time gamblers comps including private planes, accommodations, and food and beverage. But the suit also states that casinos provide discounts — anywhere from 10% to 30% — off debts for the biggest spenders.
The suit claims the Girls Gone Wild honcho had such a discount deal with Wynn Las Vegas that began in 2007, and was arranged with Larry Altschul, executive vice president of player development for the casino.
