He added Antar, 46, had lost “easily hundreds of thousands of dollars” during that time. His lawyer, Christopher Gramiccioni, said Antar experienced a disconnection rate approaching 50% during the nine months covered by the lawsuit.
His lawsuit asserts that he experienced thousands of disconnections from the online platforms, often when he had a winning hand that was then wiped out. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state Superior Court in Middlesex County, Antar accuses the defendants of fraud, racketeering and other transgressions. Sam Antar says he is a compulsive gambler - a fact he says was well-known to defendants in the case including the Borgata casino, MGM Resorts International, and its online partner Entain.
