Crown Casino has won access to the financial records of chronic gambler Harry Kakavas, to put his declared AUD 36 million losses "in context". Mr Kakavas, a Gold Coast property developer, is suing Crown in the Supreme Court for the money he says he lost at the casino between June 2005 and August 2006, along with AUD 50 million in damages. He claims that Crown executives pursued a plan to lure him back to their tables despite knowing he had been the subject of various exclusion orders banning him from entering casinos.
