Leonard Tose, former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, countersued the Sands Hotel Casino in Atlantic City after it sued him, attempting to recover more than $1 million they had extended to him in credit for gambling at the hotel. Tose seeks to have his debt canceled, and to have the casino pay him punitive damages for allowing him to lose more than $2 million in 1985 and 1986. Tose complains that when visiting the casino, he was treated well, escorted to his own table, and brought complimentary drinks by his personal waitress. Such treatment caused him to drink too much, leading to losses he would have otherwise avoided.
