Looks like Charles Barkley and gambling continue to be a losing combination for the outspoken NBA analyst. Barkley is said to owe the Wynn casino $400,000 from some markers (Vegas-speak for "loans") that he took out in October of last year, and unless he settles up, he could be facing felony charges.
A prosecutor says retired NBA star Charles Barkley will face felony charges if he fails to repay a $400,000 gambling debt to a Las Vegas Strip casino.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger says Barkley will get a chance to make restitution to Wynn Las Vegas to avoid felony bad check charges.
If that $400K number sounds familiar to you, that's because it's the amount that Sir Charles was said to have lost on the Super Bowl. Barkley should be glad that this is the new Vegas run by corporations, and not the old one that was (allegedly) run by the mob. I'm not going to do the math on what the weekly vig would be on $400K, but let's just say it would probably be an astronomical sum, and one that Barkley would be repaying with broken bones instead of American currency.
UPDATE: Charles says he's "not broke," and that he'll pay it.
