A hugely wealthy wife is suing The Ritz in London after she lost £ 2 million in a single evening at its casino, saying it knew she was a gambling addict and should have stopped her. Multi- millionairess Nora Al- Daher, 50, posted the stunning loss in just a few hours at the West End casino in April 2012, fooling away thousands upon thousands at the Ritz Club’ s punto banco card table. Now she wants the money she paid out to be returned.
She claims that club staff, who she says knew of her addiction, stood behind her at the table encouraging her to keep playing.
The Omani politician’s wife told the High Court: I needed someone that night to tell me to stop playing and bring me to my senses. If I had been told to stop, of course I would stop immediately. No one ever told me to stop or think about my gambling. They should have discouraged me, but instead they took advantage of me."
The court heard Mrs Al- Daher, who lives in Muscat, had already suffered substantial losses at other casinos when she arrived at The Ritz on the evening of April 3, 2012.
She said at first she did not want to play, but only a matter of hours later, her £ 1.7 million cheque cashing limit had been reached and then extended, and she was £2 million down.
Her lawyer, Robert Deacon, told Judge Anthony Seys Llewellyn that Mrs Al- Daher had made it clear when she arrived that she was "a gambling addict", had made substantial losses elsewhere and did not want to play. "The staff paid no regard to her upset behaviors or what she told them," he said.
"She began gambling and, as her losses mounted, staff encouraged her to continue, saying she was going to win. As her gambling continued, staff stood behind her with prewritten cheques which were provided to her until £ 2million was gambled and lost. Staff positively encouraged her when she was losing, saying ’ anything for you, Princess Nora... we trust you ... no problem ... relax ... Don’t worry... next time you will get your money back’. The Ritz Hotel and Casino Ltd failed to take any reasonable measures to prevent or lighten the consequences or worsening of self- inflicted harm by the assumption of control over her."
Mrs Al-Daher said she first realised she was a gambling addict in 1999 but struggled to admit to herself how serious her problem was. Between 1999 and 2012 she lost more than £ 7 million at the Ritz alone. [br] Why does Nora Al-Daher sue The Ritz in London?
