Machine Gun Kelly left some serious cash on the table in Las Vegas last week.

On Thursday, the 34-year-old rapper and singer made a surprise appearance at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium to perform with Jelly Roll, who is currently opening up for country star Morgan Wallen’s One Night At a Time Tour.

After performing their collab “Lonely Road” together, MGK made a surprising confession and jokingly plead for fans to help him out.

“I lost $50,000 on the blackjack table tonight. I need you all to go stream ‘Lonely Road’ and make that money back,” MGK said on stage, before both men started laughing.

MGK’s loss comes nearly a week after an unidentified poker player won $2.2 million playing Face Up Pai Gow on a mere $5 wager. The Venetian Resort noted that the $2,211,469 payout was the largest amount won in Pai Gow in the casino’s history.

Maybe that lucky winner can throw a few bands in MGK’s direction.
