Report: Las Vegas casino suing Sharks’ Evander Kane

According to the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, San Jose Sharks’ Evander Kane has failed to pay back $500,000 in gambling markers that they extended to him in April of this year. They have filed a lawsuit Monday in Clark County District Court against the forward.

According to court documents, Kane took out eight credits of varying amounts between $20,000 and $100,000 on or about April 15th of this year. The date would mean it was between Game 3 and 4 of the first round of the Playoffs between the Sharks and the Golden Knights.

In the lawsuit, the Cosmopolitan wants Kane to pay back the money he owes them, and to pay their legal fees that come with the lawsuit. They declined to comment on pending litigation due to company policy.

If he was injured or scratched, Kane was notorious for going to the casino in the middle of a game.

In 2018, Kane signed a 7-year, $49 million contract with the San Jose Sharks.
