Gaming tables before going on stage

Drake had appeared in the Daer Nightclub to sing just 5 of his hits but beforehand he had gambled  in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. It’s not known whether the Canadian singer played roulette, baccarat or blackjack. The only thing that we do know is that according to Page Six, he lost 200 000 dollars in a few hours. Drake is one of the players who only go to high roller tables. When just one chip can be worth thousands of dollars, losses can also be high. Drake played in a VIP area, eating “mini-burgers, chicken nuggets and chips” and drank a cocktail named after him.

The rapper went to the Daer Nightclub to sing 5 songs ( one hour late- Editor’s note) and earned quite a sum. The rapper’s appearances bring in between $250 000 and $300 000. So it looks as if the millionaire broke even.
