High Roller Casino
23 Dec2011
An online gaming site that caters to the high stakes player is often referred to as a high roller casino. Most high stakes players are experienced players who have an aptitude for gambling. A simple definition of a high roller player is a person who bets with large amounts of money. However, even defining what constitutes “large amounts of money” varies from casino to casino. High stakes gamblers often receive lavish “perks” such as free private jet transfers, limousines, and use of the casinos’ best hotel suites, as well as other gifts and bonuses to lure them onto the casino’s gambling floors. The casinos often will even extend credit to their high stakes players so they will continue betting, as well as offer rebates on betting turnover or losses. High roller rooms at certain casinos even allow smoking to accommodate these large spending players. Although Hollywood movies tend to give the illusion that there are lots of glamorous high stakes players, in actuality big betters do not provide the major portion of revenues to the casino industry. However they can have a major effect on the net income of the high roller casinos that indulge them.

Edoardo Alescio Wins WPT Venice
23 Dec2011
When most people think about their first live tournament cash, they have fond memories of a low buy-in tournament, probably at their local casino, when they were able to just eek out a profit. It’s an exciting time, even if the cash is so tiny that the cost of food and drink that night makes the player a net loser. Now imagine how Edoardo Alescio must feel. He scored his first ever live tournament cash this weekend, not in some $60 shove fest, but in the €3,000 World Poker Tour (WPT) Venice Main Event. By World Poker Tour standards, it was rather small with just 213 players registering, but it’s still the World Poker Tour and Alescio is now €175,000 richer.
