London: Golfer Tiger Woods was a regular gambler at a Las Vegas casino with a $1 million betting limit that exposed him to women and a ‘culture of adultery’ in the company of other multi-millionaire athletes, a newspaper reported.
Woods, who is facing a string of adultery allegations, became a regular at the Mansion, a club at the MGM Grand casino, where he routinely played blackjack at $25,000 a hand, reported by a daily.
"Tiger`s favourite clubs were the Mansion, the Bank and Tryst, all known for their discretion with high-end clients," a Vegas nightclub source told the paper.
"His table always had to be filled with hot party girls and he loves being catered to."
Having first appeared in Nevada`s `sin city` soon after graduating from Stanford University, Woods was later often seen in Vegas with his closest friends, former basketball stars Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.
He quickly became an accomplished player, winning $1 million in a night on several occasions. However, he also lost heavily.
Woods was among many wealthy athletes who are pampered with girls by Las Vegas hosts.
Emma Trotter, a Vegas nightlife reporter, told the paper: "The VIP host at the club of their choosing will arrange everything for them. You might say you want 20 girls, half brunette and half blonde, and the nightclub will make it happen."
