  • Dana White recently won $1.2 million playing baccarat at the Fontainebleau
  • His win occurred immediately following an event the Las Vegas casino resort hosted for White’s Power Slap league
  • Only a handful of Las Vegas casinos allow White to bet his preferred minimum of $300K per hand

Dana White may have earned the Fontainebleau Las Vegas a cool chunk of change with Power Slap 13 at the Cobalt Ballroom. But the night of June 27 was a lot less profitable for Fontainebleau once the UFC CEO hit the baccarat table.

According to a recent episode of former NFL player Taylor Lewan’s “Bussin’ With the Boys” YouTube podcast, White won $1.2 million while playing $300K hands at the classic European casino card game.

I’m at a million now,” White says at the 32:30 mark. “It’ll be $1.2 if I win this one.”

Five seconds later, White and the rest of the VIP table — including Lewan and White’s son, Aidan — erupt in a collective “Yeah!!!!”

This was one of several “Bussin’ With the Boys” episodes in which White schools Lewan in the fine art of table games. (Lewan didn’t seem to do too bad himself, claiming a profit of $950K after two days of baccarat and roulette.)

Looking Baccarat

White has claimed significant baccarat winnings in the past — most notably an estimated $26–$27 million at Caesars Palace between January and March 2024.

His strategy — betting huge amounts and only leaving after he wins three hands in a row — has drawn attention, with some casinos, such as Wynn Las Vegas, reportedly refusing to allow him to wager at his preferred limits due to his success.

That’s why he’s long been devoted to Caesars Palace, which permits him to bet $350K a hand, and Bellagio, which allows him $400K hands.

Add Fontainebleau to that short list.

At that level, winning $1 million or more in a night is possible. It’s also possible to lose as much, or more, and White — whose estimated net worth is $600 million — has admitted losing $8 million during one night of his Caesars winning streak.

White has previously expressed his desire to play baccarat at $1 million a hand with $30 million in casino credit.

“That’s my goal in life before I die,” he told the “Full Send” YouTube podcast last year, though he acknowledged no gaming venue anywhere in the world is ever likely to indulge him.
