David Blaine and Joe Rogan delved into the high-stakes world of gambling in a recent episode on JRE. Dana White‘s blackjack escapades and Blaine’s craps table victory were also discussed in the episode.

Rogan detailed White’s fearless approach to blackjack. He described an eventful night when White recovered from a $600,000 loss to break even. Rogan also described another incident that caused anxiety for him. This is what Rogan had to say about that incident. 

Football player Taylor Lewan was with him, and Taylor, he listens to Dana, and Dana, like, bets for him. And we were talking about it. We went to Shane Gillis's comedy show, and then afterward, he's like, 'We're going to go bet with Dana White. We're going to go gamble.' I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'm going. Let's go. I want to see this.' These guys are psych*s. I always knew that a bet cr*zy numbers, so we went down there, and he was down $120,000 in the first 5 minutes. And I was like, it was the anxiety. You're sitting there watching, and you're f*cking freaking out. And then he won, and he was up $60,000. He quit. So I think he won like $65,000 or something like that. But it's just like watching him down $120,000 in 5 minutes is like, 'Oh my God, my hands are clammy. I'm like f*cking this. This is so cr*zy.

Dana White is one of the most influential personalities in the world of combat sports. He is responsible for building the UFC from an organization facing bankruptcy to the billion-dollar company it is now. Along the way, he also saw the rise of superstars of the game like Brock Lesnar, Conor McGregor, and Ronda Rousey to name a few.

White and Rogan would both be present at UFC 295 which would be Rogan’s return back to the commentary booth. The UFC held UFC 294 and UFC 293 overseas, and they couldn’t have the presence of Rogan for the event. Fans would welcome Rogan’s addition to the commentary booth, where he will join Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier.

Joe Rogan reveals why Palms Casino Resort banned Dana White

Many notable casinos have banned Dana White because he is a high-stakes gambler. In the recent JRE episode with David Blaine as the guest, Joe Rogan revealed that White’s extraordinary blackjack winning streak led to his ban from The Palms Casino Resort. This in turn caused the UFC to sever ties with the establishment.

This is what Rogan said to Blaine about the incident on his podcast:

They um, banned Dana White from The Palms 'cause he won too much money playing Blackjack. And so he pulled the UFC from The Palms..........No, just playing, really. Yeah, he just won, like, $7 million in a night. Wow. Like f*ck. You're banned, which is cr*zy because, like, if he lost $7 million, they'd be fine with it. They'd be thrilled. But you can win 7 million, and you can lose 7 million.

Blaine, in the episode, also shared his surprising win by playing craps at the Palms and won everybody at the table $10,000. Blaine’s status as a magician caused the casino to conduct a two-hour review.
