Bruno Mars, real name Peter Gene Hernandez, allegedly owed $50 million in gambling debts to MGM Casino.
Mars shot down these rumors and has since joked about them. MGM did too.
Well, that might not be the end of this saga, we are learning today (March 3, 2025).
From Vital Vegas:
"Sounds like we haven’t heard the last of Bruno Mars’ gambling saga at MGM Resorts. Mars has reportedly stopped gambling at MGM casinos due to a potential lawsuit against the company for “taking advantage of him” by repeatedly extending his credit leading to losses exceeding $100 million. MGM previously denied he had gambling debt with the company (the technical term is “ass covering”). Pinky Ring is presumably part of his arrangement to pay back losses, Mars is obligated to perform there, which we’re told he isn’t thrilled about. Rumors gonna rumor, but this is one to watch."
