The Casino’s High Rollers

We all wish that we could be a high roller. Having a huge pocket full of money to throw down to most people, sounds like a good time. Here is a list of some of the small group of the crème de la crème that casino owners love.

Adnan Khashoggi- This guy is a Saudi Arms dealer who has been known to loose millions of pounds in London based casinos playing Baccarat and Blackjack. With his bankroll being in the billions, it is said that he along is responsible for a 19% drop in Hiltons International’s profits one quarter due to a very large winning streak.

Charles Barkley- The former NBA pro is known for being the most public high rollers in Las Vegas. Over the past decade he has claimed to have lost close to over $10 million and can be seen playing his game of choice, Blackjack at $30,000 per hand.

Larry Flynt- This mogul behind Hustler is no stranger to the VIP rooms in Las Vegas where he is an avid blackjack player. He has been known to have long winning streaks which have included a $1 million profit in one sitting.

Kamel Nacif- Throughout his gambling career, this wealthy Mexican business man has made between $18 and $22 million and hasn’t let up yet. Kamel has been known to get agitated while at the Baccarat tables, which is no surprise considering his average hand is in the range of $160,000.

Kerry Packer- He takes the cake as the world’s biggest high roller by a long shot. This Australian billionaire has been seen at the Blackjack table playing $450,000 per hand. He has also been known to give $1 million dollar tips to the waitresses working the tables. Kerry has also regularly tried to extend the Vegas maximum bets to $1 million dollars, something the casinos wouldn’t even risk. This guy is the high roller of all high rollers. Now where do I apply to get that $1 million dollar tip?
