Dana White pockets $1 million from single baccarat hand at Park MGM

Dana White added another seven-figure win to his gambling record, pocketing $1 million from a single baccarat hand at Park MGM in Las Vegas after joining streamer and social media personality SteveWillDoIt for a high-stakes session, with UFC fighter Tommy McMillen also present.

Before the session could begin, the casino imposed an unusual condition: White and SteveWillDoIt were not permitted to bet on the same side of any hand. White was characteristically blunt about the arrangement upon entering the high-stakes room.

“You guys are pssies,” White said. “Your bosses called and they were like, ‘Yeah, you can bet $1 million, but you’ve got to make sure you don’t call us pssies anymore.’ And then 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 sh*t of all time. That’s their way of telling me they don’t want me to play a place.”

The session opened badly for SteveWillDoIt, who dropped $1 million before White stepped up for his own seven-figure wager. White won the hand and celebrated by flipping off a security camera.

SteveWillDoIt subsequently recovered his losses, but White urged his friend to stop while he was ahead. “Let’s not get fcking stupid here, listen, you’re gonna cash out $1 million and take your fcking $800,000 in cash back,” White told him.

The entire session was documented live on SteveWillDoIt’s stream, adding another high-profile chapter to White’s well-documented history of large-scale casino gambling. The UFC CEO has previously been banned from multiple Las Vegas casinos after winning significant sums at the baccarat table.
