The casino first tried to recoup the money in a Singapore court in one of the world's biggest-ever gambling debt recovery cases but the matter was thrown out on July 7

Dr Wong's legal team argued Star executive, Paul Arbuckle, promised him that any losses up to July 30, 2018, would be written off as 'mistakes' by casino dealers.

The Singaporean High Court heard he was a 'high valued and respected patron of casinos around the world' and was frequently given incentives to play.
