Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is giving $10 million to the super PAC supporting Mitt Romney, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The amount donated to Restore Our Future may be the largest single donation towards Romney’s efforts so far, according to The Journal.

Adelson helped bankroll Newt Gingrich’s failed presidential run. He and his family donated $21 million to the super PAC that supported Gingrich, Winning Our Future.
