Wong Yew Choy is being sued by Star Gold Coast in Queensland after allegedly failing to settle his dues after a costly week playing cards.
The 56-year-old, who calls himself 'Dr Wong', was seduced to the casino by glamorous VIP marketing executive Teazel Yaw under the promise of visiting its VIP gaming rooms.
Dr Wong arrived on July 26 via the venue's private jet, before being gifted a stay in the penthouse with his entourage and $100,000 of 'lucky money'.
He handed over a blank check in exchange for $40million in gambling chips, which he promptly lost playing the popular card game baccarat.

Dr Wong, who amassed his fortune gambling in the Philippines and the Isle of Man, has allegedly failed to repay any of the money and has ignored letters demanding repayments.
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.
