After reaching Sin City, a friend loaned him $10,000 and he began playing high-stakes poker, craps, and other games, reportedly building his bankroll up to more than $7 million within three months. At Binion's Horseshoe, Karas squared off in nosebleed stakes against poker greats like Stu Ungar, Chip Reese, Puggy Pearson, Johnny Moss, Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, and others. His bankroll reached $17 million during this period and he had no problem putting it on the line with huge games of craps at the property.
Money means nothing to me. I don't value it. I've had all the material things I could ever want. Everything. The things I want money can't buy: health, freedom, love, happiness. I don't care about money, so I have no fear. I don't care if I lose it.
